Sell, keeping it cool- seems to be running a smart race.
5k
"Sell was in 17th place at 5k. 15:29" - 4:59 pace
10k
"Sell 30:55 at 10K" - 4:58 pace
15k
"15K splits: Sell 46:28" 4:59 pace
If he keeps it at this pace he'll hit 2:10:33 or better if he he is really saving it for the second half.
running the first 5 miles that quick is not a problem but they are at mile 12 and still running 2:06 pace.
Well this has been an awsome race to watch so far....the top three are together again--Nguse/Meb/Mayo going ito the half mark: stay tuned for split.
Thanks! Where are you getting this? Are subelite splits available anywhere?

Meb needs a barn-burner! He thrives in these conditions...
He does? I dont think he has ever been in one. two NYC marathons and the Oly games were mostly strategic, which is why he is better than his 2:09:50 PR.
who is the hottie number 7..?
1:02:45 at the half, Maiyo, Meb, and Merga
what was the 10 mile split roughly?
Looked like a 1:02'24 at the half..!!!! while surging...lol crazy
I prefer the death march... stop blaming Yuda. The others could let him go if they wanted.
Wow, so incredibly inciteful. You mean a lot of people hit the wall at 20 miles? Especially if running a course record pace?? No way.
if you know their number you can get anybody's split on the website

blaming yuda, for what, making this race awesome!?
THANKS!
Culp far back but still in 7th...he may be about 1 min back or so alone and following the second pack....still 3 up front.
Yuda is insane for doing all these surges. He blew out into the lead at the start & surged again at 2-miles when the pack came up on him.
culpepper is smart. hopefully he'll come on strong at the end.
what was rexing's time? i assume he finished a while ago and has begun his swim across the atlantic (or does he walk, er.. run, on water like jesus) so he can be ready for london next week.

Your stupidity has finally been fulfilled young one snapping with no bite. Yes alot of people hit the wall at 20 miles but not MANY ELITE hit the wall in the same race!
