Official Prague Marathon- Galen Rupp Prediction Thread

Rupp accidentally tripped Lemma, but Lemma stayed on his feet (Rupp apologized). Little flashback to Rupp's debut at the Olympic Trials where he was clipping Meb's feet.

Sort of crazy that anybody truly has though patterns like this. I love it. Please post more often if you're legit.

But if the announcer is right that they hit 31k at 93:00 that means they ran 3:13 that last k.

Rupp has clipped the Lemma's legs! and the announcer are debating if he would put the hammer down if Lemma fell.

The guys are funny at 3 am.

I can no longer click on a runner and see their splits? Anyone else able to do that?

Amazing how Rupp is able to toy with a runner with a better time in 2018 than Kipchoge.

1:33.00 exactly at 31k = 2:06:35 pace.

Rupp and Sisay looking good. Rupp sipping bottle comfortably.

He has issues with sharing the road.

These low-key blazing marathons are fantastic. Imagine if Ritz and Hall ran in Czech, Amsterdam, Dubai in their primes (really anything outside the US other than London). The US all-time list would look very different.

Discrepancy between clock time shown and splits.

good to see galen and sisay sharing the lead. good for fast times, definitely.

Damn, they've got a real system going here. Still in cooperation mode, but the battle has got to start some time soon

Other than NBCn (which costs) is anyone anyone able to watch free on mobile ..? I’m pist as I can’t watch .. :(

34k 1:41:50.

so that's still 2:06:17 pace, pretty much exactly Ryan Hall's PR

Lemma looked like he was surging right before the camera cut away

Computer with pim.cz link via watchathletics + hola on czech mode (retry multiple times)

Hall's pr is 2:04 and some change.

Not Czech. It's not as flat as Amsterdam and Dubai and obviously the pacemakers are lacking.

2:06:17 pace through 30K, with a 14:39 25-30K. If they keep running that pace (14:39, or 2:55.8 per K) the rest of the way the finish time would end up 2:05:22 (35:09 last 12K, plus 34 sec last 0.195) ... if I did the math right

looks like they hit a slight incline, might be why they slowed down a little... Rupp looks like he is ready to settle in rather than throw the hammer down... probably going to see a sit and kick from 1k out from Rupp.

tried. worked for a minute, and then they started asking me for money. I'll just watch the replay on youtube.
