Farah wants it. Going to be quick
Farah wants it. Going to be quick
Damn! Mo's slappin Korio on the arse to get going!
an NOPer taking the lead!!! Wow this is unprecedented. Geoffery looking good.
Does anyone think if Farah was named Galen Rupp that the rabbits would be this poor? I think Alberto would have hired a monster.
Farah, my respect level for you just went up about 1000%. Farah takes the lead just before 11 minutes. WHy in GOd's name wold Tanui take it? DOes he think Farh is trying to slow it down?
Pre really should have had Rupp rabbit this thing. Let him get his 5k qualifier in the 10k and help his buddy out.
Yeeeeeeeah Farah and Tanui RACING from 5k out!!!
This race is the opposite of "Ruppness."
crackin pace innit?
4 seconds slow over the last k
Why did Tanui take the lead from Farah so quick? Is this race scripted?

It's a little warmer and a little bit more humid than ideal for a 10k but we've still got some time for it drop down. Dew point is 62 right now. LetsRun.com's weather expert John Kellogg says ideal would be about 55 degrees with a 50 dewpoint.
.
Empirically speaking, 55 degrees is too cool for a fast 10k. While the WR is about 57 as I recall, the rest of the fast 10k are run in the mid 60s. I'll post the data again when I find it.
The Sun's altitude is as important as temperature.

Good points!
~13:21 5k split
Is that Osako back there with him as well? can\'t quite make out from the broadcast
THis is why rabbits suck. THis race is fascinating. watching these guys push it back and forth.
I had 1321-2 at halfway. FYI, last year the 5k split was 13:26.44 but Sambu rabbitted last year for 8k.

Methinks Tanui may have some money coming his way.
Fine with me, this is more exciting than I expected.
Farah looking nervous, surprised he's pushing the pace
Farah's stride lengthening, looking pretty tired. group of 3 up front.

Why would Salazar not do the same for both of them? they are both his runners.
