Kiprop is gaining on Haile! WTF?
went thru the half in 10418
14:05, 14:30 for 25-30, 30-35
obviously wanted a negative split run...
I'm doing the same thing. Makes me want to say EFF OFF to whoever says Universal Sports is broadcasting the marathon live.
Wankers.
Who the hell is Francis Kiprop and how did he just run 43:15 for the last 15k (20-35k) and is closing the gap on Geb when he is running WR splits?
An why didn't he stay with Geb earlier on?
37K 1:47:50!
2:02:58
1;47.50 37km
35 in 1.42.37 something wrong. does not run 5.13 for 2k:)
must be a typo theres no way he did the last 2K in 5:13
damn. where's kiprop?
Haile split at 37 km 1:48:50 hours.
Holy Crap!
Is Geb actually picking up the pace?
Below I've listed haile's wr splits on the left and the splits reported on the berlin site for this year are in () on the right.
05 -0:14:34 - (14:30 - 4 seconds ahead of last year)
10 - 0:29:12
15 - 0:44:02 - (43:58 - 4 seconds ahead of last year
20 - 0:58:49 -
½ - 1:02:03 - (61:48 - 15 seconds ahead of last year)
25 - 1:13:39 - (1:13:09 - 30 seconds ahead of last year. 29:11 last 10k)
30 - 1:28:27 - (1:17:49 - 38 seconds ahead of last year - last 5k in 14:40)
35 - 1:43:05 - (1:42:37 - 28 seconds ahead of last year - last 5k in 14:48)
40 -1:57:34
Fin - 2:03:59
Geb has slowed down.
If geb runs another 14:48. He'll be at 1:57:25 at 40k which will be just 9 seconds ahead of last year. It will take him 6:29.8 to run the last 2.195 which would give him a final time of 2:03:55.
IT's going to be very, very close. Looks like he may fade and not get it.
Haile struggling? Doesn't look so smooth anymore.
Ropkip 1.34 behind. Can he reel him in????
It was 6:23 (the last 2K) -- the official blog just fixed the time
1;48;50??
mistake on the blog 1:48:50, not 1:47,
proj finish is now
2:04:07
last K in 3.13 He won't get it. He is fading. Ropkip might
win!!!!
