KK'S PART OF THE STRING, CHASING TAKAOKA. I BELIEVE HE'S IN ABOUT 3RD, ROUGHLY 25" BACK. THE T.V. COVERAGE IS NOT CLEAR.
AT 23 MILES, TAKAOKA IS 20-25" AHEAD OF THE NEAREST COMPETITOR. HE'S STARTING TO LOOK MORE TIRED, BUT I THINK HE'LL HANG ON.

So does this Japanese guy use VAAM Extra or what?
does the pack expect him to come back? i hope khalid goes, i think him and tergat can make a solid move and go 1-2
Maybe this is a milestone race for him, and he'll get over the hump!!
KK'S LEADING THE CHASE PACK AND LOOKS STRONGER THAN TAKAOKA FOR SURE...BUT HE'S GOT 15-18" TO MAKE UP IN 3 MILES.
TAKAOKA'S LAST MILE WAS 4:55.
Damn.....imagine Geb in this type of race....if Takaoka can go from 2:09 to 2:05-2:06, what can Geb do in his second 'thon?
How close are they from the front?
TERGAT'S FALLING BACK. HE WON'T CRACK THE TOP 3.
KK has made up bigger gaps in shorter distances... I remember 1999.
Hey LTD, you're awesome! Where are you at and what channel are you watching?
'he's definitely hurting now' - announcer about tak
kk is making a move going down a small hill
KK - another typical American runner afraid to go with the Kenyans, er Japanese...
How close is KK now? Does he have a chance??
this is where he makes his drives, lets see what happens.
Halfway splits.
CUlp 1:03:35
Shay 0 1:05:47, Dowling 1:05:48,baker, verran and aish all there as well halfway splits

what race are you watching? kk is running well and will probably overtake tak in the next half mile.
Will Wejo keep going to get his OT qualifier? Where is Pepper at, still 2:07-2:08 pace?
Are they still on WR pace? How bad is the wind?
I was being saracastic (and going off the updates that were implying Tak would hang on)
BBC! Will you please cut to Chicago damnit! History?!
If only this was on American television...
I could sit on my couch and yell, "Run KK, run you SOB! Go! Go! Go!"
