Who is 34? Just laid down a surge.
Who is 34? Just laid down a surge.
Shimizu is fighting for the lead
Guta, Tergat, Rios just following on their heels.
Shimizu is very brave.
I am surprised that Tergat is till there. Maybe he is racing off of pride
I think Shimizu is testing them, specifically Rios.
Now it is a race.. Rios is leading
Drink station, could have been a tactical point. Rios takes the pace. Tergat hanging on, Guta behind him.
Regrouping for another try by someone.
Shimizu in the lead.
They have just over 10K to go, and are surging in waves.
Guta, Asmerom, Shimizu, Tergat and Rios
Asmerom looks comfortable.
Looks like a crosswind.
Weather just flashed up; 12.7 C (55 F).
Yes Asmerom looks very relaxed in his face.
With a fairly strong wind, it appears.
The last 2k they slowed down quite a bit 3:14,15
I think Asmeron will just sit on Shimizu and out kick him in the end
Leaders splits starting at 30K: 3:04,:12,:11,:15,:14
So there must be a huge wind, 35K split 16:09
