This is a tough spot for Molly Huddle. She's 15 secs behind leaders and 20 secs ahead of fifth place. And there's 15 miles to go.
Like the 10,000 in Rio

Both races are fascinating at this point. The lead women's could absolutely blow up off this pace, Huddle wise to let them go.
Going to church now.Will be praying for-Ritz..Expect Great Things...
Eurosport showing 11M splits.
Huddle 26 seconds back
Conley 96 seconds from the leader, hall and Jorgenson shortly behind.
Huddle will get at least 3rd! Wow!
Weldon just joined us in the media tent after enjoying a 90 minute breakfast with the VIPS. He said, "This is being set up for Huddle to win. The only way she wins is if the superstuds blow up."
Interesting take.
According to the splits, Stanley Biwott is back in the pack! haha!

In Britain, a singlet is called a vest.
In 2011, when the men set the CR. The opening 10k split was 30:24.
Today it was 30:36. But in 2011, they ran the next two 10ks in 29:40 and 29:43.
She looks great and is taking her nutrition well. I won't be surprised if she reels in enough folks to get into the top 4.
72:38 at the halfway mark for the two leaders Keitany and Chepkirui. MErgi 45 seconds back, huddle 10 seconds behind her.
No way Huddle gets the win, but 3rd looks close, and 2nd is a possibility if catastrophe strikes Keitany or Chepkirui
73:35 for Huddle at halfway. Every step from here on out is uncharted territory for her as she's never raced longer than a half marathon.
Biwott just pulled out.
Biwott out??
Biwott out.

Just dropped out, grabbing right calf
Now it's true. 1 DOWN. Stanely BIwott has just dropped out at 4545!!
It's interesting as when we after we talked to Dr. Rosa and Biwott, Jere Longman of the NY Times said to me something along the lines of Wasa it just me or did Dr. Rosa not sound too confident in Biwott.
I didn't even pick up on it but credit to Jere for nailing it!!

It's the other way around - 'vest' is two centuries older in usage.
