You know, Takaoka is my sentimental pick but he's fighting against his age (37). I think he waited too long to run the marathon--he was the one who "could have been". Actually my personal pick is Sato.

Thanks. Aburaya is definitely there. I'm sure Sato is too
45:05 at 15k
so is there a sight to follow splits
Interestingly, the official site said that Wanjiru was at 4th place at 10k in 30:02. Hope he's not "hurrying". This ain't half; this is full.
Yes, but it's all in Japanese. I'm checking the list of entries and this split site and Zatopek's commentary.
Wanjiru is tucked in behind the rabbits
Yup, the official 15k is just in. Wanjiru 5th place. 3 Kenyan rabits and Kirui and Wanjiru. Sato and Takaoka are 8th and 10th in 45:07.
Still a very big lead pack. Takaoka is right next to Wanjiru
They should be making a 90 degree turn to their right down south soon. At the bottom of this turn will be the half way mark; then sharp turn back up north.
They just mentioned Carrol. He is in the 2nd pack 400 meters back
There are down to 16 in the lead pack??? That went down fast... 3min/km pace, I guess...
I think Wanjiru is running a very smart race...very controlled
thanks for the updates guys.
seems like they are moving
By the way, Sato just recently broke the Japanese half marathon record with 1:00:25.
Thanks for the updates on Carroll, keep em coming!
15 degrees
Here's the image at the start. You can see Wanjiru on the right in bright red singlet and shorts with #26.

#61 is dropping of the back. Who is that?
