More women are cracking and dropping off. It looks like my prediction of just three women left around the 7 or 8 mile mark is going to happen.
Dibaba has dropped off. This is insane. That initial pace was suicide.
What was the purpose of male pace makers for the women's race?...
Men's race is at 5km in 14:01 - that's 59:04 pace.

26 minutes into the women's race and the top 3 have gapped the field. Mary Keitany (KEN) 1:05:50pb Peres Jepchirchir (KEN) 1:06:39pb and Joyciline Jepkosgei (KEN) 1:09:07 pb are the 3 women up front.
I know they are there to push the women to go after the record, but it has ruined this race for me.....You don't get to see the true running skills of the runners.
The women are halfway and are crushing it. They are on 65:35 pace.

Male pacesetters are fine, but these ones are terrible. Already only one left and the women are overtaking him with every step.

One of them dropped back to the second group of 3 (about 5-10s back).
In the men's race, Augustine Choge is in 3rd place!! He's run 1:44 for 800 and 3:29 for 1509. Nick Symmonds and Clayton Murphy can't crack 8:05 for 3k and yet that guy is on 58 minute half marahton pace. HIs pb is 60:01.
Greatest range ever?

What did the announcer just say: "He's putting the cat with the pigeons?" Never heard that one.
Men are scorching it.
27:50 10K!!! Still on 58:43 pace, putting a men's WR in the realm of possibility!
WOW ! The kenyans up front are talking to each other while running at an insane pace, like just back and forth conversation. lol
I wouldn't be able to say anything ..just pure spit and mumbo jumbo
1. Let's appreciate how much better the announcing is here than at the Dubai Marathon. THey are getting people excited.
2. This races proves my point that two elite races should never start so close together. How can we appreciate them at the same time? Elite men should start before the women so there is more time before the finishes.
Never saw Kenyan run so weird, it's like they injected themselves with a liter of adrenaline.

Yes. I love Tim Hutchings. He provides detailed info,even though I get confused when it comes to Kilometers( when it comes to pace and splits) . I'm a Miles guy....I talk in Miles.
Women are getting close to WR pace. Remember it's 65:09.

Keitnay has only lost 1 of 20 career half marathons but she's hanging on for dear life here:

What a disappointing women's race! ...Mary K is on the verge of being dropped. freaking record chasing screwed this up
The men's race is way better and more exciting at this point.

Don't speak so fast, 3:01 16th K means they're now on 65:18 pace on 16K! Record is 65:09, it could be very close

She is desperately hanging on, barely. She appeared to be getting dropped.
