I thought meb was getting dropped but he tucked back in.
She's running up the last hill.
far better race without pacemakers
5:58 for mile 23. The chasers can see her.
They gained 15 seconds on her.

I haven't seen too many of Mebs' races but he's shuffling pretty bad.
Amen
anyone see the motorcyle crash? camera man and driver laying on side of road in men's race
5k left in women's race... Keitany has 60 seconds over the chasers and she's running 5:50-5:58 for the last couple miles. Exciting finish ahead!
Meb is unreal today.
Mile 19 was 4:46.

Let's start talking about the possibility that Kisorio, the longer he stays in the pack, becomes a huge threat to this field with his half-marathon speed.
Watch out for Matthew Kisorio, quietly lurking.
can't believe that meb is still hanging on.

don't worry. Everyday he's shufflin'.
Where are you getting your splits, they are nothing like what appears on the athlete tracker on the NYC marathon site
If Meb runs 2:06:30 do you deem it intrinsically faster than Hall's Boston, London, or even KK's Chicago time?
Meb looks like he's starting to limp!
For Keitany from tracker:

Mary visibly tiring, head tilted, strugling. Looks back, chasers looking marginally stronger. But she should hold on.
Why is Meb running NY instead of the trials????? Seriously, I don't know.
And there goes Meb off the back. Will he finish?
