She just needs to slow down, get in contact with that group, and then push the pace when people start inevitably dropping off the lead group.
Yeah being 10 seconds up on that pack isn't going to make a difference by the end. There's either going to be carnage or they have no hope to begin with.
This has a similar dynamic to the Beijing Olympics when Sammy Wanjiru went off at a crazy pace. The commentators kept saying that he would never hold it, but he did. It must be weird to be someone like Sara Hall who probably pictured herself staying in the lead pack - being off the front so quickly. I don’t think the east Africans are going to falter. They are simply able to run faster than other runners.
D'Amato lost I think 15 seconds to the lead pack in 2km. Wow. They are flying. Gotta think at least 3 of them will come back to reality in the 2nd half.

Reminds me of Berlin last year (2021). They went through half in under 61, and Adola ran a 5-minute positive split to win.
