Looks like Haile should break 60 min, but he's just cruising now.

Dita 1:17:07
Gharib all alone in 3rd, Kimutai also alone in 2nd. No sign of Ritz.
Ritz now in fourth or worse.
54:58... Geb powering along the seafront... under a mile to go
55:50 and Kimutai is only just turning onto the seafront.
I remember that hill the first time I did the GNR... I felt sick when I turned that roundabout onto the seafront.
Less than 800m to go and he's at 57:20...
58:30... he's really driving up the effort
59:00... so close now
Geb looking back in the last few hundred m. Double Ethiopian win.
59:32 - He bags it in under an hour!
As the crowds cheer on his final 100m, he gave a little wave and a smile. Fantastic finish.
God, Geb killed it.
Nice double win for Ethiopia.
Adere also 37 years old, I believe.
Kimutai finishes in 1:01:22
Ritz just keeps 4th. 1:02:34?
~1:02:35 for Ritz in fourth.
Gharib 3rd, btw, high 1:01.
Ritz looked dead after finishing.
Over and out. See you in Philly.
