Dibaba makes a big move, looked like Linden and three others were off the back. But then slows down and pack remains intact. Linden still leading.
At least the BAA should pay Desi for rabitting.
MEB WILL BE FORTY ON MAY FIFTH... WHOA
Deba actually looks stronger than Dibaba.

Meb ain't got no quit in him.
Never has a truer statement been made.
For the first time today, Rawson acknowledges that there is a headwind
Lead pack is down to six, Linden leading. Chepkirui, Kilel off the back.
RITZ RITZ RITZ RITZ RITZ RITZ RITZ OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG
About 20 min to go for the women, right? Any projection of winning time?
Boston is not the Masters -- it is the PGA Championship.
This is the most fun I've had watching a race since London 10000
Chepkirui and Killel dropping. Cherop as well maybe.
How much more fun is this than watching Berlin, Dubai, London, ?!?! SCREW those time trials!
Korir looking GOOD
Chebet looking good
Don't think April has the speed
Tsegay can't tell
Desisa looks tired
Meb looks a bit tired
Same for Ritz
Guy on right looks fresh
Korir agian looking good
Desi back to the lead. She has shown she can possible do this once you get here at this point in the race.
Despite all the women up there, this women's field is not that strong soif she can just beat Dibaba I like her chances. The rest are just hanging on.
DESI GETTING DROPPED!! HAHAHAHAHA
Women's lead pack down to 6, maybe 7?
No one ever talks about April, the South African (I think). He's looked comfortable the whole way.
