Lemma's lead getting BIGGER.
From the half (13.1 miles) to 25k (15.5) he increased his lead by 32 seconds! Now leads by 2:21.
The next test is the uphills starting now after mile 16.

2:21 lead for Lemma at 25K -- Have we seen a lead like that, at that stage, in the past 10-15 years?
Wait for the hills! I hope he does it. I hope he at least scares the World Record.

It really should just have its own feed for anyone who is interested. (forgot to quote guy saying he doesn't care about wheelchair race)

29:01 for 10k. Definitely slowing, but 14:30 to the line would still be incredible.

The first half is way downhill and there is a tailwind.
If the wind is worth a minute, going out on sub 2:01 for the downhill first half is far from crazy.
Yes, Rojo. Isn't John Kellogg's downhill conversion like 7s gained for every 10 ft. of elevation drop??
No. 1.8 seconds per 10 feet. John last night told me thought the wind would be worth at least a minute. I was surprised he didn't thin it was worth more as he said a 20 mph tailwind was worth 3-4 minutes way back in the day.
But he said it wasn't a perfect tail wind.
Mile 17-18 and 20 and 21 are the uphill miles.
This commentating is driving me insane. They are acting like the other guys can just easily pick it up off of 2:04 pace.

They would do that once. Then there would be no feed.

Seeing Lemma out front like this just makes me sad that Kiptum never got to run Boston.

Lemma is picking it up. 4:27 14th mile.
Chase pack of 5 hits halfway in 62:08. Sondre Moen is top non-African at 62:57 (10th). Elkanah Kibet is the top American at 63:15. CJ Albertson 63:52. Suguro Osako 64:05.
We need an American to finish top 5. Correct?
We would be lucky to have a male American finish in the top 5 of the women's race.

Albertson has never broken 2:10, correct? He told LetsRun he’d been too busy with life to get in the shape of his life—“ready to run 2:06 or 2:07”—but that he thought he could run sub-2:10 on a good day. Maybe he’ll run a big PR having been too busy to race 27 mile training runs.

Bates high-fiving the Wellesley women. hahaha

Obvious the women slowed substantially, just from the fact that Des is right there.
