God Mutai will most likely set his Legit PR faster than his 2:03:03 at boston

They've been slowing down according to the commentators. 40k split coming up

seems this race could use a painted tangent line like they have in the Olympics

She's here to run at least! No cute singlet stuff like w Kara.
Come on shalene....

Looks like Mutai might finally get under the world record, probably not quite under the conditions that he'd like though.

Different Mutai

Projected times at 40k

Kimetto 2:02:53

Mutai 2:03:00

can mutai get 2nd and still be under 2:03?

I hope Kimetto can hold it togther for a sub 2:03 finish. 3:00 last k.

Kimetto--strong form and interesting expression of utter zen-like focus. The mouth is interesting because it has the appearance of not passing all that much air. Perhaps the super efficient breathing is totally coordinated with his cadence...

Her 5k splits still very even, AR remains a possibility

40-41k in 2:56 he appears to be picking it up again
