The slower pace initially should be good for Lagat's record attempt.

Should we all move to Valencia?

Jeopkosgei getting dropped.

Jepkosgei -- the WR holder and heavy favorite -- is falling off the front at 14k. She's now two seconds back and the gap is growing wider. It's Netsanet Gudeta Kebede pushing the pace up front with Pauline Kambulu of Kenya the only woman still with her.

Kebede off on her own.

Kebede looks great. Legs like a 400m runner...she is going to run away.
