Matteebo to the lead.
Employee #1 liked him when he met him in Kenya. A 13:03 guy.
We did pick him as a "long shot" who might win after Employee #1 complained.

He has a 2:05:31 pb. 22 year old who used to run 13:03 but now runs the marathon.
Rupp, Are you reading?
butter may get his top 8!!
randall 30k 2:29 pace. He seems to have stopped fading
Why are we encouraging Rupp to move to the marathon? He is good on the track and is getting better lets not push him up to the marathon yet where he runs two times a year.
Was that really Rupp in response?
matebo at 35k on 2:11 pace - BAA says his last 5k was only 15:42 - sounds like he did not speed up - everyone else died

Yep, I should move up to the marathon, because by sub 26:50 is a terrible, shameful performance
Seriously
look at these 5k splits, some of these top 10 are leakin

Serisously, who gives a damn about the women race????
Only those of us who are fans of the sport.
There might also be some connection between giving a damn about half the marathoners out there and being able to type a dozen words without making three errors.
Butter needs only top 8 with only 3 per country counting, so top 8 is not a problem. He does need a sub 2.12 too to qaulify for London
In case you're not watching
Levy Matebo 10 seconds up on Matthew Kisorio. They just hit 35k (21.5 miles) in 1:48:47 and 1:48:57.
This one isn't over.
On the women's side, Sharon Cherop is trying to break away from Jemima Sumgong on women's side but they are right together.
Yes, that really was Galen Rupp responding.
am currently feeling sorry for Athletics Kenya.
Hartmann is going to be top 5
hartmann will be 5th
Jason Hartmann on the rise, top 5?
Wesley Korir is now in third. He's about to pick up yet another nice payday.

Tracker shows him in 7th. Is he actually sitting in 5? NICE. Wesley Korir showing in the 3 spot. Gotta root for a local guy.
Go Wesley! Such an awesome guy
