Ya, Stinson still in there, nbc said they're on 2:05 pace?
2:05 pace seems crazy for him. I'd like to see him run well because he gets a lot of hate on here. But 2:05 pace seems like an overreach.
Lol its "WORLD MAJOR" eating up the marketing much?
Yeah its fast but that's a marketing term

Men's first mile was 4:46 -- almost exactly 2:05:00 pace
Women's first mile was 5:07, which was 2:13 pace! But they didn't say which women were at the front.
only 5 women here are 2.21 runners, pace is suicidal

lol watch Rupp set a WR today? I almost choked and died laughing
And these commentators as the feed cuts to the wheelchair race:

Only two pacers ? WTF, I've never seen a major paced marathon without 3 pacers...I guess Chicago couldn't afford to pay more
They certainly can. The cost is a flight and a few thousand only. Bringing in one do-nothing official costs 5x as much.
"Getting close to 10k", right...
So is that Geremew in blue bottonms and orange singlet ? Hard to recognize them with that crappy feed even in so-called "HD"
There have been a lot of dewpoint threads over the years. This is one of the better ones:

Dew Point
<50 : very dry
50-60 : nice
65 : getting humid
70 : humid
75 : very humid
80+ : oh look out
Dewpoint <55*F: Go for it!
Dewpoint in the 60s…it’ll be tough for racing, training runs OK
Dewpoint in the low 70s…hard training will be tough
Dewpoint in the upper 70s….anything other than a recovery run will be a struggle
Dewpoint in the 80s…even a recovery run is tough
Or this site which says over 55 and you should have a 1% performance adjustment.
This is like a 2 hour Vapor fly Commercial. I think the top 20 guys have them on.
I doubt Stenson will last pass 15 miles running like that.
14:52 5k split for lead pack (14:58 for pack of pack)
15:43 for the second pack, lead by Yuki of course. that's 5:04 pace or about 2:13 pace
Anybody have 5k split?
This coverage is terrible. Who the hell wants to hear about spectators' plans for cheering on their friends?!?!?

Got a link ? The NBC stream has branched off to ridiculous "people" coverage, ah no we're back...
top 10 thru 5k in 14.54, thats 2.05.45 pace
14:52, that's 2:05:15 pafe, slower than expected but on schedule for those records.

Stinson looks like he is working way too hard.
I don't get this guy.
We wants to break 2:11:00, 1:05:30 pace. Yet he says "I could NEVER go out in 1:06:00 pace." Um, 1:06 pace for the first 8 miles would be PERFECT for you, guy.
Why he wants to go 15 seconds per mile faster than he can handle...who knows.
Ahmed Osman (USA) and Elkanah Kibet (USA) are also in the lead pack. for now.

Good call. Even if I didn't at least they continue to show more of the race.
