Was there a 10 mile split? WR is 50:32. She was probably faster than that

So Chepngetich hit 10k in 30:14. SO her 2nd 5k was 15:14. 15:14 by itself is 2:08:33 pace!!!!
At 10k, the lead women are head of the following American men: Shadrack Kipchirchir, Nathan Martin, Colin Mickow, Reed Fischer, Brian Shrader, Alex Maier, etc.
Those American men aren’t elite
Keira had no 15k split, problem?!?
Sullivan 25 sec faster than Bates at 15k.
Can we plleeeasssseee get back to the wheelchair coverage?!?
Anyone have eyes on Keira? Bates (and Centro, lol) had a 15k split just over 50:00, no KD though.
Did Keira D’Amato drop out? Her results haven’t updated past 10k
Looks like Keira D'Amato DNFed already?

She must have been sub 50

If only there was a broadcast that could update us...
Rupp is an excellent analyst! (I just joined the thread - sorry if this is redundant)
The wheelchair races can't end soon enough.

This is the first time I've really been into the wheelchair race. It's usually just watching Hug do a solo time trial. But the strategy and drafting is actually cool.
The wheelchair annoncer is quite good. I'll give her that.
But Galen Rupp is truly incredible as an announcer. He's the best moto guy/gal I've ever hear. He speaks great and notices a ton of interesting stuff. Shocking really.

For clarity, the half marathon WR is like 47:59 pace.
Chicago should also start giving the bottles directly via the cyclists who follow them as they do in Berlin. It saves a few seconds.
I don't care about watching a bunch of Kenyans that are going to get busted at some point. This is an American race, show the Americans.
Wish they had a camera on the American women and men. The London marathon manages to do this for their UK runners. Did they ever have a shot of Centro flanked by D'Amato, Bates and Seina?
Ruth through 20k in 60:51
