Not quite dropped yet, though...

Kipsang & Mutai will leave him behind regardless lol

too early to surge wrote:

Yuki will regret that unnecessary surge just now when he gets to Central Park and Kipsang and Mutai leave him behind.

And Yuki is now off the back of the pack.

How's bob Kennedy doing?

SPOILERS MAN

Kastor is 1:44:02 at 18 miles (6:03 mile 18). That's 2:31:32 pace but will probably be slower because she is slowing down.

Kipsang pushed it out and Mutai, Desisa went wright with himi as well as April. Now he's slowd it back down. Meb is there. Kirui, Imai. Kipyego and maybe Gebremariam. 11 in leack pack

Vail, Hine have been droped as has Kawauchi.

At 19 miles, Linden looks to have been dropped for good. She's 8 seconds back of the leaders. Straneo is off the back too -- seven women left in the lead pack.

Aaaaaargh. Thunderstorm wreaking havoc with my satellite TV reception. Keep the posts coming.

How is vail looking? he fell back

Last year's runner-up, Buzunesh Deba, has been dropped. THey're coming up to mile 20, Keitany leads, with Sumgong, Dado, El Moukim, Moreira and Prokopcuka in the lead group.

El Moukim and Moreira are making their marathon debuts.

Bob juuuust might smash the 4 Hour Barrier -

Crazy talk thinking he could run 3:30 ;)

Is that a chinese runner up front in the mens race?

hey Guru, when was the last time a runner won both Boston and NY? Was it Billy?

( I suppose I could google, but what fun is that?)

Mary making her move. This is it. Deba, Moreiro already dropped, others struggling.

Mary picks up the pace and appears to have dropped Deba and Sara. Lead group down to five.

Any sighting of Luke P. ?

He's 30m back with a Kenyan. Looks ok and could maybe reconnect or take some scalps
