Desisa lays the hammer down and only Berhanu can hang with him.

Desisa looks very smooth!

Autologous Madness, thank you!!

He just said it. Watching leg turnover.

Can you divide? wrote:

Because they are running at hobby jogger pace today

the men might catch the women? Has this ever happened? Looks like both genders finish in about a half hour. How would this work, coverage wise?

At least they've got the split screen down.

Did anybody request the Nascar type tracking yet? That would be great.

Cooled off last hour at Logan (was 66 at 10 a.m., 62 at 11 a.m.) Onshore push of cooler air may impact things - cooler weather, but more of a headwind as day progresses.

Desisa blows a snot rocket on the break! Nice!

Actually I think they are talking about that stuff you just want to whine and b!tch.

My bad. Misread the clock. That would be something, wouldn't it. Guess the women would have to (was going to say blow up but that's probably a no go)... "collapse."

Valentine Kipketer seemed to be struggling on the hills but has back caught up with the two leaders.

20:02 for the 5K between 20 and 25K. Sad to see.

19:05 for last 5K for J. Gault. Wheels coming off for the letsrun hero?

Kind of looks like Desisa is favoring his right foot
