ryan hall: madman or genious?
about to find out!
where are the women at? what mile/km?
ladies 5:11 last mile, pack down to 4
Merga's last mile announced at 4:54.
but now that Hall can see Merga i think he can catch him. Hall is a TOUGH competitor.
Kara is setting hte pace with 2 1/4 to go, but still anyones race. she is a great racer, and i think she can do it.
Hall is 36 seconds back, Merga needs to blow up.
Merga not showing any signs of cracking. He's looking over his shoulder because he's paranoid and tired, but Miles 21 and 22 were 4:54. He'd need to come back to Hall, because that 22sec lead looks like at least 200m on TV (despite evidence to the contrary).
Women's field reduced to 3 ladies with less than 2 miles to the finish. Goucher STILL setting the pace. Hope she's not too tired from pacing to outlast the others to the finish. Would be a shame, but she's certainly laid it all out on the final miles.
Ladies pack down to 3....go Kara
Go Kara you sexy b*tch!
Merga still strong, Hall not gaining apparently.
Bekele dropping slightly off the lead pack! Just over a mile left.
Bekele dropped. Kara in the lead pack of 3
Besides Houston, has merga ever won a marathon?
no mens shots, what the hell?
so were they lying before when it was 22 seconds?
Women's pack down to 3: Goucher, Tune, Kosgei. Bekele 10m back.
35K;
13. Brian Sell 1:52:27
Kara and Tune will sprint it out. 25 mile mark together
Merga not showing any signs of cracking. He's looking over his shoulder because he's paranoid and tired, but Miles 21 and 22 were 4:54. He'd need to seriously blow up to come back to Hall, because Hall is now 36 seconds back with 2.5 miles to go.
Women's field reduced to 3 ladies with 1 mile to the finish. Goucher STILL setting the pace. Hope she's not too tired from pacing to outlast the others to the finish. Would be a shame, but she's certainly laid it all out on the final miles. Great strategy by Kara showing patience and strength.
25 mile mark 2:25:58ish.
Go kara. she looks like she's hurting a little. someone has got to move soon.
