Agreed. That is awesome. Thanks for the link.
Couldn't they hold this off for another half hour?
tadesse OUT and ritz is 100% alone now in 9th place
30k in 4:50/mi slowing a tad to no surprise
teg now 4:58 pace, moving up! big group for him surprisingly at 4:58/mi
WARD if anyone cares, shouldn't be faster than 2:18 according to conversions from his 8k/10k xc times. but hey, it's xc, so who knows. it's also possible he's pacing somebody
At 30k, Ritz is leading the 30-34 Age Group Division by 2:30 over Alistair Cragg.
When did the army allow thugs
Teg is having a great race and he's with three runners from Japan. Ritz is with no one.
Good grief - she's probably riding on the back of a motorcycle instead of the comfort and stability (and head on view) of the lead truck where Reavis is.

Ritz just hit 30k and it was his slowest 5k segment yet.
He ran 15:14 from 25k to 30k. Prior to that 15:01 had been his slowest 5k segment.
Tegenkamp just hit 30k. He ran 15:16 from 25k to 30k. That was his FASTEST 5k segment.
He should start gaining on Ritz now but he's 2:31 behind.
To pass Ritz he'd need to make up nearly 20 seconds for the last 8 miles.
Hey, the men's race is now getting good -- let's cut away for 20 minutes so that you have no idea what happened!
