Ritz 15:34 35k to 40k
Ritz 15:34 35k to 40k
At 40k top 6 are on 2:06 pace.
1:59:50 with mile to go for Kebede so we should get a sub 2:04:30!!!
15:34 last 5k for Ritz. Wheels are barely hanging on. He's now on 2;07;27 pace.
He needs to maintain about 5:20 pace to break 2:08!!!
Ritz looks to be in 8th and will stay there?
Uh-oh... Salazar is going to come out and say that he doesn't get it, Ritz did several 2:06 26-milers in training!
Anyone know Kebede's height and weight?
Ritz could be the third American ever to run sub 2:08:45--and maybe sub 2:08!!! Go Ritz!!
Metivier Baillee now on high 2:25 pace at 35k
Hope Ritz can stay under 2:08
I just did the math. Ritz has to run 5:15 pace for the last 2.195km to break 2:08.
Kebede sub 2:05. Course record.
they just mis-announced kebede as he came up to the line. nice!
Yeah, let's remove the clock from the screen as they finish, that makes sense.
But Kebede! What a great run!
"new chicago world record"!!! lol what a fail
More like 5:25. 5:20 1600 pace would get him at just under 2:07:50

Ritz ran 15:10 from 30k to 35k. So he slowed a little bit but still on 2:06 pace.
Even if he slows to 5 minute pace (15:30 5k) the rest of the way that would be 2:07:45.
So likely much faster.
Ritz ran 15:34 from 35k to 40k.
So he'll have to not slow anymore to break 2:08 if my calculations were right.
2:07:50 for Ritz!
He just got in at 2:07:50
2:07:50!!!!!!!
Ritz 2:07:55sh
Goddamnit. Did they have NO ONE covering the first American come home while we watch the winner dancing back up the race course. Geez.
