Anynoe consider the fact that today was Tadese's best performance in a while?

He's such a smooth, efficient runner. It's been cool to watch without the crowd noise and cow bells...
Desisa getting lapped.

Speaking of perfectly set up conditions, since this event seems to be a success, I wonder if Nike will consider setting up WRs on track distances. Like if they could hire a dozen tall runners to create a wind shield to take Kiprop through 1200m at 2:30.
Waste of time for Nike. They sell, I'd bet, 50x more pairs of distance shoes than track shoes.
kipchoge about to LAP DESISA!!!
Lapping Lelisa, that's awkward
get out of the way!
DESISA ABOUT TO BE LAPPED!!! CAN HE COME BACK FROM THE DEPTHS OF HELL?!?!

He's looking great. i'm starting to believe.
Looks very good but the 20 mile mark is like the halfway point. When the wall comes it comes quick

I meant 1100m
Next mark should 22 miles . so look for a sign
1:40:41 is the time for that if he's on pace.
Wow this is stressfull !
Desisa needs to get out of the way in a hurry.
Desisa is going to get lapped o.o
Looked like Eliud actually smiled for a moment!

Does anyone else feel like this could diminish the value of real marathons? Once we've seen sub-2:00 in perfectly set up conditions, who cares about seeing 2:02 on a traditional course? This will be the marathon performance by which all other marathon performances are judged.

If he breaks this we will see more and more of these... Until the first bust... and then we'll go back to pure racing.
Get the amateurs off the track. I'm talking about the two failures.
Lelisa just got lapped on the track. He HAS to come back for the win, now.
OK. He's now visibly working hard to stay with the pacers.
Blow up could be soon.
About to get lapped...
