Anybody care to speculate on the kicking abilities of the 4 leaders?

Who gives a damn about the womens field? Last split was 5:48. Focus on the men and switch over to women when the mens race is finished. Thanks.
People who care about American runners who might actually medal at the Olympics?

Exactly, a lot of action in the mens race RIGHT NOW. Nothing happening in the womens race but a slow jog. It will get exciting later when they have to throw down the hammer, but that time hasn't come yet.
Glad that he is not winning after training in drug infested morrocco

If one of them dies and one drops out we could have our darkhorse. But, I'm hoping for Hall, Ritz, Meb!!
Hall let the others set the pace for the last few miles. Seems to be resting until he will pull away for the win.
No kick needed.
Can we get an update on the trail pack?
4:52 for men Mile 16. They're over 2:07 pace now 1:17:40
mile 11 5:35 1:02:09 for women. Projected finish 2:28XX
Ritz just tossed off his hat
When Max King makes his move at mile 25 it is going to be FIERCE!!!

I was more thinking the kick for 3rd.
That's what I was banking on when I made my picks....

In all honesty everyone knows the men's race is way more entertaining.
The folks at the Runnersworld feed even said as much.

bummer
Agreed, at 2:07 pace Hall won't need a kick to win. Meb won't be able to outrun him over the last 10K.
