Unless that mile is a mistake or he stopped to tie his show or something, I'm calling it now. He's done. There is no way you should be slowing down that much.

That was a brutal uphill mile ROJO. Read the course.

Rojo doesn’t need FACTS

My stream has glitched every 15 seconds. It is hard to watch.

Geoffrey Kirui starting to extend the chase pack. I love his stride - described as “proud” by American commentators in the year the weather won Boston.

Is it just me or is the video feed cutting out after like ten seconds?

I'm having to refresh every couple minutes. Any alternative feeds?

CJ is going to steal it! Pack running SLOWWWW..

Flanagan will have a faster time than Hasay. Jordan to quit racing and have babies with Jamin while she is still fertile.

He's NOT going to steal it, no way. You and Kmaclam really need to get together!LOL

Flanagan with a faster projected finishing time than Hasay....

Thin crowds, hilly section of course but that was still to slow.

5k paces through the half

LOL, so his last 5K was faster than his previous 5K??? "Slowing down A Lot"

He's going to get caught and he will start slowing down A LOT. LOL, you really must be a hobbyjogger, he's not winning and he's going to get caught and he'll pay for that pace. Wow, just wow, some posters just don't get it.

Yes, more brilliant than YOU thinking he's going to hang on for the win or that he'll get caught just after 10 miles, LOL!!!!!! Asking posters, what do you think??? Because you can't figure it out yourself:):):)LOL

I'll stop teasing you (C Js Mom! Really???) Just realized you are cutting school.

I agree with commentator: once the pack has Albertson in sight, they'll run him down. I'm amazed he's lasted this long.

The Fans are making him smile and it looks like he got the stride back, if only for a little bit.

I compare him to the guy who led the first half of the 1983 Boston Marathon wearing a Walkman cassette player.

Parker is done. I called it

Albertson gap shaved down to 1:30. On track to be caught within 10K.

CJ is RALLYING. 5:01 16th mile!!!!

Prove me wrong CJ. I don't get why he'd throw a 5:20 in there. I mean tha'ts a lot .

I'd love for a 13:50/8:45 steeple guy to win Boston. This wouldn't be like Meb winning. This would be a whole other level.
