Despite what they said, the 10k split was 29:16. I'm trusting the chips over the commentators.

29:21 at 10k which is 2:03:50 pace. 29:22 for most is 2:03:54.

Ritz at 10k 29:48 which is 2:05:44 pace. He has run dead even 14:54-14:54.

Teg is 31:00 at 10k which is 2:10:48 pace. He's picking it up as he went 15:35-15:25.

The leaders went 14:45 for 1st 5k and then 14:37.

Ooops, damn autocorrect, I meant "shedule".

cool - tx. Teg 31 flat at 10k. Wonder how far Solinsky will be able to go.

Second wave wasn't even on the starting line. They were lined up behind the back up mats

Well, the announcer shouted "Ready to GOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!" very enthusiastically and then was surprised when peole started to run before the commands! Don't shout GO before the start...

Some morons don't get it-- fr2ggy, I'm looking at you.

Why don't you wait until the end of the race before you make your proclamation.

Pot. Kettle. Black.

lots of people at 31:00ish at 10k, wonder how many stick around.

complete dead zone from 4:48/mi (ritz) to 4:59/mi (solinsky)

Nobody sleeps in their cars, that announcer is Mike Adamle, noted drunk driver who has probably done it himself on more than one occasion.
