The guys clearly were forcing it early. If they'd just let these guys race, it would have been epic.
It WAS epic. It IS epic.
But yes, 1:01:5x would have been fine halfway, and 1:01:3x ruined the WR attempt.
5:02 mile 24 touch and go for course record

A 2:05 guy needed to run a Jason Hartman race and start sweeping them all up at the end, with 4:50-4:55s making up a lot per mile in the last stages.
That is EXACTLY what is happening! Kebede just came through all these guys but Mutai!
I'm afraid of Kebede
KEBEDE about to win this!! WOW. E. Mutai really struggling.
Kebede for the win! Going to roll by Mutai SO HARD!!!
I think Kebede will catch him. 49 seconds back at 35k.
28 seconds at 40k.
If Mutai is dead it's over.
Kebede straight past!

Seeeeeee?
Wow that was quick 2:03:02 Kebede goes by into the lead.
It's a marathon, not a sprint and I think everyone learned that today.
Kebede's going to win! He looks like a midget. Great redemption from not being picked to run the Olympics.
they just put up the last mile as 5:24? WTF?
