Wrong Peruvian. Runnerryan got it right.
Are you kidding me? If all the Kenyans/Ethiopians just run away, I'm going to be irritated with Shalane...
24.4km - it's on. Kenyans and Ethiopians surging. Flanagan and Goucher struggling to catch up before it's too late.
Big break for the Ethiopians and Kenyans.
and the Americans are out
There's a peloton in this race? Chase pack?
The Kenyans and Ethiopeans are taking charge. Edna Kiplagat out front now.
And the race starts... And NBC goes to commercials. Unf-in-believable!
approx 1 hour and 30 minutes in: 6 Africans have opened a gap. Flanagan and Zhu are trying to close the gap
16:57 for the last 5km. Flanagan trying to close the gap to the africans.
Flanagan and Zhu back in the fold. Goucher not far behind, not out not yet.
Another surge. Go Kara and Shalane! Pull them back in.
Shalane closing the gap!!!
looks like race is packign up again after a 5:11 mile
Flanagan might just get back in there...
Brilliantly palaced Kenyan "special interest" story! You SUCK, NBC!
Honestly, what is this?
Straneo's out, paying the pied piper for the initial glory of the lead.
kim smith way back - 26k still 2:26 pace
