I screwed up by an hour some how. Still after hitting snooze 8 times I saw the 2:14 guys coming in. Kind of a bummer I missed Halls finish!

Warm day, fast pace -- you can never predict which bodies will explode. I think Meb fell of first, then KK, then Baldini, finally Geb suddenly stopped with holding his chest, said he couldn't breathe. Then Hall (running 2:07:36 pace at 35km), then Tergat was the last to let go.
Geb dropped out, citing pain/stitch/cramp type thing.
Meb and Baldini let go early. They might not have finished.

Jiminy crickets. That's really remarkable. And I thought Baldini was a good warm-weather runner (ala Olympics). Thanks everyone for the updates.
I could not find results for Meb so he must have DNF'ed.
Well done Ryan Hall and Joe Driscoll.

Baldini is a good warm weather runner, but on warm days you can never predict which ones explode.
Remember too, late afternoon Olympic starts are quite a bit different from late morning starts. On one, the sun is falling to the horizon, the other it's directly above.
Anyone know what happened to Blake Russell?
Where did Jason Hartman go? His half split at 1:07 seemed OK.
Hartman pulled off the course to find a tele, and began a search for a new adviser. It is very obvious that his existing adviser is not capable of coaching at the sub 213 level. Basically, he (the adviser) knows what worked for him and cannot coach beyond that.
Meb's brother and agent explains Meb's decision to drop out of the race:
Dining at the Y again!!!!!!!!
KK and Meb are done - stick a fork in them
Its Ryan Hall mania!
