Apologies to the other guys who started threads. I needed this to be the real one as I'd put it up on the HP.
From the flags on top o fthe building, it certainly looks windy. THe wind is clearly a cross wind right now and should say that way the whole time.
Take a look at the course map. It's pretty amazing. Talk about 'out and back'

No biggie. Thanks for posting the target split for the half. I was about to ask it had been mentioned
-
A lot of kenyans named Pace, is that their new favorite name?
-
2k in 5:51. Still very very early but men are on 2:03:26 pace.
-
Lot of guys named Pace in the race.

That's 2:01:39 marathon pace. Of course 3:00 is 2:06:35 so if Bekele is somewhere in between there he'd be ok.
2:57 is 2:04:28 and 2:56 is 2:03:46. -
They picked it up on that last k, 2:55. Bekele looks good, but again, it's super early.

The announcer said it's 14 celsius which converts to 57.2 F. -
By the looks of Bekele's kit, I'm guessing Nike hasn't re-signed him?

I think his bib is partially obscuring the swoosh in the upper left (upper right on the camera) of his jersey. His shorts still have the swoosh. -
it honesty pisses me off how smooth these guys make a 2:55k look. what the f***

The race starts in less than 10 minutes. Some are speculating it's too hot.

Goodness...I couldn't imagine a course like that. Staring straight ahead for so long...So mentally taxing. Like being on a treadmill.
