Galen drops his bottle!
Galen drops his bottle!
Oops, Galen missed his water bottle!
Rupp missed his bottle just after the 10k mark.
He went for it and dropped it on the ground.
Men are on a ridiculous 2:07 pace in this weather. Sure the first part is downhill but they are bringing it thanks to Kawauichi gettting them going .

Oh good we can spend another half hour talking about Meb, who isn't even competing, instead of covering either the men or women's lead.
IT's a joke. Elite pro races have been going on for almost an hour. Has anyone pointed out the women are going out really slow but the men went out in 2:07 pace?
Were they not given press packets to talk about the elites in the pack?
Who are the players we don't know?
Lets not talk about weather, its obvious you buffoons.

There are going to be some awful blowups.
Unfortunately, it's very likely. But add me to the list of people who'd love to see Kawauchi win this.
zero chance of that happening, OK maybe if everyone else falls down
Galen's done.

at 10k, 2:07:30 pace...
10k 30:15!
WHY THE HECK is Galen wearing a freaking parachute compared to the other guys?
Not sure why Larry Rawson is amazed at how slow the pace is, the pace often goes out much slower at this point
rip kawauchi, i really wanted you do win...but that first mile
At 10k (30:15) we have 8 or 9 guys if you count Shadrack Biwottt who is falling off in lead pack:
Tamira Tola, Geoffrey Kirui, Galen Rupp, Lemi Berhanu, Wilson Chebet, Evans Chebet, Norbert Kigen, Lelisa Desisa (and Biwott) Kawauchi was behind them.
Galen is probably spiraling into depression right now over missing his precious liquid. Everything will now be dryer inside of his body. He can feel how dry his insides are. He knows he is dry.
Galen is wearing comically oversized gloves.
Who is actually in the lead and breaking the wind?
Are there any elites laying off the pace who could work their way through the carnage of the men's race later on?
I guess we'll see how good the Vaporfly 4% are in the rain and on really wet roads...
If Rupp PRs in this weather, he is officially the greatest GOAT of all time.
this coverage is perfect, three windows, elite women, elite men, and whatever other nonsense they want to show below
only way it could be better is if they had splits and predictor stats on the screen at the same time
projections are currently women 2:38 and men 2:07, amazing how the weather is barely affecting the elites
