5:48 first mile for women. There goes the time bonus. Joanie B. supposed to be running this race again but not in age group record shape. 25 women still in lead pack. Men go off in a few.
Men look like they're freezing at the start. No mention of wind but it's blowing good
Men 9:32 at 2 mile. Wicked hair pin turns. Puskedra grabbed the light pole at the turn and spun his tall butt around.

5:20 4th mile for the women drops all the pretenders. Down to 5 lead women.

No comment on the race, except that I'm enjoying the commentary.
-
Women at 32:55 at mile 6 after a 5:22 allowing Diane Nukuri to get back in it. All the faves still in large men's lead pack.
-
Men at 23:40 mile 5, no time bonus unless they do some crazy neg split.

You'd think with the same 6 women in the lead pack, they could identify someone besides Diane who leads them thru mile 7 at 5:12 -
No tight close ups but looks like Derrick up front of a still large lead pack
-
Men starting to roll, Langat, Yimer & Kibet top 3 at mile 7 (32:57) 4:37 last mile, same 6 women at 44:30 mile 8.
-
Langat has got them all strung out. About 16 in a long line as he motions for Yimer to take over the leading duties. 37:25 at 8 miles. 5:31 last mile.
-
Well I take back the coverage comment, they just blew that.
-
Buze Diriba takes it over Biwott in 53:45. Top 6 about 10 seconds apart. Emma Bates first USA in about 9th? Yimer leads at mile 9 for men.
-
Yimer takes it, 46:16. Derrick about 7th? top American.
-
Centro just in. High 50:point. 50:52? Yimer being interviewed. He's freezing!
LRC note: The race results show that Centro ran 50:38 for his chip time, hitting 5 miles in 25:#2, 10k in 31:36 and 9 miles in 45:33.

Did I hear them say that Yimer is 21 years old?!?! Guy looks at least 35. -

This is like asking what Wejo could run right now. Who cares, his fitness is terrible. His goal is sub-50? 50 minutes is like 30 seconds per mile slower than he should be capable of running. I'm guessing 51, out of spite and indifference.
Spite and indifference ftw! -
Were the Cherry Blossoms in bloom?

Who was the Brooks-Hanson guy that was right behind Derrick?

Insubordinate and churlish.
