Is it normal for marathons to start at 12:30 pm there? Looks too bright and sunny for a fast marathon. 33:17 at 11k so 2:07 mid pace currently.
Yes, it is. Good for fans/TV. Not usually warm mid-day, since it's winter.

20 + 2 pacers through the half in 63:56
Tadesse Abraham (SUI) PB of 2:06:40 in Seoul 2016 is a DNF at 24km
lead pack now 17 guys including 2 pacers, just split 15:03 so still 2:07 high pace
30km
Pacers: 1:30:48
Kubota: 1:30:49
Kuma, Robertson, Chebii, Korir, Githae: 1:30:50
Ndirangu, Abera: 1:30:51
both pacers drop right at 30k.
American Scott Bauhs is up to 44th place in 1:36:26 at 30k. he's slowed down to 16:xx 5k splits so probably not gonna run quicker than 2:16 (on 2:15:00 pace now)
Jake Robertson makes a move at 20mi/32k. Awaiting split but I'd guess faster than 15:00
Robertson testing the waters in the lead, looking good

I was wrong, lol. I saw the Japanese guy fall way back and suddenly Jake was leading, so I made an assumption.
15:26 split to 35k, now 2:08:0x pace
5 men in lead pack
Jake on track to break Rod Dixon's New Zealand record
Move is made at 37k, now down to 3 including Jake looking alright.
What the hell is robertson saying to that guy with 5k left? What pace are they on and what is Dixon’s record?
