That's so slow.

That doesn't seem to be up right now... but Barega is currently going 21.2 km/h if that helps!

Kissa is always recruited by Uganda to be the domestique and assistant to the main players from Uganda.

Barega out for a jog

They should have seconds per lap or mile pace rather than km/hr for the Current Speed stat on NBC. No one in America knows kilometers anyway.

God, I wish I was slow. :(

Good, as soon as I posted this, they picked the pace up from cowardly to merely slow

I forgot kwemoi who is my favourite from Kenya and this guy has a huge engine.

What's the temperature on the track?

Me too, but 28 is almost a jog for them.

The jog is over now, they are doing 64s lap.

Probably mid 70s

75-76F

Team USA need to slide up

I’m expecting about 27:10-27:30.

I'd like to see Fisher start winding it up and at least be a factor. Or does he not have the fitness to drop sub-64s?

He looks comfortable.

The pace is all over the place. Who is gonna break this open?! I’m waiting for Cheptegei to drop a 60-61 soon.

Needs to pick up now for Grant. That was just a 67, they need more like 62s to string it out. If it's a last lap burn up, likely not his best chance.

Think I picked Chelimo in the contest against my better judgment that Barega was maybe slightly more likely to win, now I think he's solidly more likely. 50% Barega, 30% Chep, 20% other, 20 min in.
