Current/instant pace. Get a grip

4:42 is 2:03:13 pace.

When the guy presented it on the tube, I went "huh?", and then was subsequently taken in by the following factoid proffered:

Meb's heart is pumping 10 gallons of blood per minute. :-0

Hey, they say he spends 60% of the race airborne. No idea how factual that is, but it is the first thing they've said that got my attention.

Painful, painful coverage. Amazing that 25 years ago they could provide better live race coverage with a fraction of the technology - and better commentators.

Tony Reavis, where are you?

Men went from 4:47 on 10 to 5:19 on 11 and 2nd pack caught back up

Now 9 women in lead: Daska Keitany, Saina, Rossena, Flanagan, Kiplagat, Deba, Tuliamuk, Vrabcova

abc down...espn2 down...what's working??

That doesn't seem like Keitany is surging. That looks like everyone else is dropping.

And there's still 9-10 women in the lead pack right now.

Women: 25k: 1:30:07 (17:47) Nine women in lead group, including Americans Flanagan and Tuliamuk.

Men: Mile 12: 4:57 (1:00:43)

See, I was thinking 4:42 is his current mile pace and 2:12:00 is the projected finish time based on how slow they've been running so far.

Exactly. Context is important rojo.

Dossena gonna feel good off the bridge and make the rookie mistake thinking it's a 20 mile race.

5km 19:09

10km 36:52 (17:43)

15km 54:44 (17:52)

20km 1:12:20 (17:36)

25km 1:30:07 (17:47)

ABC seems to only have a finish cam right now.

Meb was doing the leading duties last time they showed the men.

Well, nice to know they have Larry Rawson commentating. Maybe they'll actually utilize him for 30 seconds before this shi-t show is done.
