40k in 1:58:34. The WR is gone.
Haile is running slower and Kiprop is still increasing his pace.

Can you imagine NBC not showing an NFL playoff game live, so that people had to go to deadspin.com or some similar blog to post updates?
If the Jaguars played the Seahawks in Siberia, it would be televised live in HD.
Good night everyone. Remember Haile's words: "If I'm not sweating I don't feel alive."
Kiprop 1:18 behind.
