Official 2023 United Airlines NYC Half discussion thread

Obiri split 15:39 for the second 5 km, 31:29 at 10K.

Teferi still behind her.

Calling wheelchair racers “wheelers” is cracking me up

Chris Chavez is annoying.

The men's pack is seconds away from catching Thompson.

At least he actually knows what is going on in the sport. Be thankful we don't have local news anchors commentating

Kiplimo looks like he’s jogging as pack catches Thompson.

Ummmm, not today.

Amen!

For real!

Kiplimo's minimal upper body twist is scary. His arm is barely going backwards at this pace.

Obiri making a big move after 9 miles. Gap now between the two leading women.

Thompson has been got but for reference
Last year the men split 14:20 at 5k
Chris Thompson was 15:00 this year . On TV they said the chasers were 55 seconds back but that was incorrect. Chase pack was 15:14.

King Ches might win? Expect Great Things!!!

Jacob going for a jog

Obiri is a frigg'in beast.

Kiplimo and Cheptegei here to cash a check and run a 5k

Looked like kiplimo just dropped his gloves

Yeah it did not make sense to me when I wrote down the splits I saw on screen. The gap definitely did not look that big.

Andrew Butchart briefly taking the lead around mile 9 prompts announcers to talk about how he is training with Mo Farah in Ethiopia. Hmm.
