The pack is getting restless.
Blake just surged and Akor and Deena responded.
I'm surprised Elva hasn't been up front more.
they got to face that wind two more times too.
only a mile long but with thoose hairpins i wouldnt think a good course for such a long solo.
no panic time. there still a lot of racing to be done.
the leader is totally not going to qualify...
14 Mile Spilt: Lewy Boulet 5:42, pack 5:44.
"Panic is setting in for the chase pack" Don't they realize that in miles 15-26 a whole lot of changes can happen? Or are they just making it seem a fait accompli?
Yeah- I agree- I think its a little too early to say "these runners in the chase pack are thinking about running for 2nd now."

I can't imagine that the women in the chase group will let 2nd and 3rd go to a dual with Deena over the last couple miles. Should see someone go soon. Maybe when the wind is behind them again.
Big break with Deena, Akbar, and Russell are opening it up.
Do we really have to hear about 'smoots' the whole race?
Al: "A penny for your thoughts on this group."
Ed: Silence...
Funny
Deena has decided not to wait any longer, and she is gone. Russell and Akbar stuggling.
15 Mile Split: Lewy Boulet 5:43, Kastor/Russell/Akbar 5:42...finally closed the gap by a second.
Deena will win this race.
Ok, enough with the smoot references. It's overdone.
Deena goes, Blake and Akor are 10m behind. The rest have dropped off. At the 1:30 mark.
alright Deena's starting to put the hammer down. Does she catch Magdalena? And if so when? I say at mile 23...
Deena goes
I was just cracking up over this exchange...
