ESPN coverage really really sucks, they can’t give splits in a timely manner. I have to keep going to the NYRR site for splits. They can’t even give the halfway split for women on tv.
It should be a WMM major rule that you MUST show the halfway point of both races.
And they just missed the men's halfway split. I can't believe there isn't a big clock there.
I'd like to see temp and especially projected finish time displayed continuously with the other stats. This would tell us how fast/slow they're running and also give us the temp which as someone just said is the biggest factor.
Should NYC do what some of these chinese marathons do?
43 degrees, sunny, 8 mph winds out of the north at start of women’s race Women 1 mile 6:20 unofficial on the bridge Women 2 miles 5:16 (11:36) 18:16 at 5k Mile 4: 5:36 Mile 5: 5:21 Mile 6: 5:33 Obiri to the front at 6 miles, is she surging? No, just getting in position for her drinks 10k: 35:24 2:29:19 pace 1:13:59 at half, 21 women still in lead pack Mile 14: 5:43 Still a large pack at 16 mile
Men 1 mile: 5:36 Mile 2 miles: 4:46 Mile 3: 5:07 5k: 15:59 Mile 4: 5:08 Now Rory Linkletter making a break and Albertson & Nageeye follow him. Chebet and Mantz cover it and now the pack is together again Mile 5: 4:49 Chebet leading it and looking good Mile 6: 4:59 10k: 31:27 still a big pack Abel Kipchumba making a big move during mile 11 and stringing things out a little bit. But it doesn’t stay strung out for very long Mile 11: 4:52. Albertson pushing and takes lead during mile 13, then Tola takes the lead later in mile 13 and starts pushing and stringing things out 65:33 at halfway, 15 guys within 6 seconds of lead but a pack is separating. Mantz and Young go with it. Cut prize money if time is over a certain time?
