Pacemaker now 130 meters clear! 6 min. in and he's out of sight. He'll be under 13:50 at 5K no problem.

Iguider just off back of lead pack at 3K hanging in there, soon to be back with Fancy & Brigid I assume.
any idea what shoes Kosgei is wearing?
Go Pace M2!
Looked like 8:35 for 3K split. Off scheduled pace by about 20 seconds already.
Wanders only 'gringo' in lead pack of about 25. Iguider starting to regret this harebrained scheme. Did he lose a bet or something?

I do wonder what Iguider is doing here. Can't be much fun getting dropped immediately.
Women at 15:03!!!! 5K

My God, somebody in Kenya named their kid Weldon.
I don't suppose there is actually a chance it could be after our Weldon. He did train there for a while didn't he? Any chance his fro has red highlights??
Don’t tell Weldon’s new wife. They are expecting his first ‘acknowledged’ child.
Men 'only' on 59:30 pace
There are nine women in the lead pack, which hit 5k in 15:03. Which is 63:32 pace. WR is 64:51. Kosgei is going to smash it, question is how many other women break it as well (and if anyone can beat her).
Dayum, women's field is stacked. 7 of them still there. Brigid looks silky smooth. Wanders still with lead group, all 3 pacers still there.
What shoes is kosgei wearing. Nonstandard color scheme Vaporflies?
Gaps now in women race. Its Kosgei and 2 others (Ethiopians?) with a pacer and a gap between next 4. Nearing 10K
28:03. as Wanders leads them thru 10K
59:12 pace as Wanders leads a large (20 plus) pack.
Wow. 30:15 at 10k and Ababel Yeshaneh of Ethiopia is taking it to Kosgei! Kosgei certainly not licked yet, but Yeshaneh had a lead of a few meters after grabbing her bottle. now Kosgei is level with her again.
30:12 10K for lead women!! Kosgei 2nd, Brihane 1st, 15 sec. inside designated pace.
So lots of vaporflys in the men’s race. What a are the adidas guys wearing? They are all in orange shoes.
