Free live streaming here, commentary in Dutch but it's the best I can find.. http://nos.nl/dossier/231914-marathon-naar-londen-2012/tab/388/live/

ThePiedPiper · 15-04-2012 10:15am

They're at 14km and through it in sub 2.03 pace!! There's a gang of about 8 around Moses. Interesting to see what the next hour and a half brings.

Not working for me, do I have to do something on that page?

Thanks in advance.

RacoonQueen · 15-04-2012 10:17am

Should just load up.

Itziger · 15-04-2012 10:19am

Mac wouldn't open it, I have it now on old "banger" computer!!!

RacoonQueen · 15-04-2012 10:21am

You probably need flip4mac installed.

G-Money · 15-04-2012 10:30am

The dutch stream is working fine for me. The only issue... it's in Dutch

ThePiedPiper · 15-04-2012 10:38am

Still at sub 2.03 pace through 22km. The group of 8 or so all look pretty comfortable up there, so Moses should hopefully have plenty of company for at least another 7 or 8 miles. The coverage is following a couple of Dutch runners a lot who are in the second group.

Brianderunner · 15-04-2012 10:42am

They're passing where i dropped out 2 years ago :rolleyes:

Very watchable stream despite it being in dutch, looking good for a new WR

myflipflops · 15-04-2012 10:47am

Just the 61.37 through the half!

WR won;t get lowered I think.

Itziger · 15-04-2012 10:48am

Christ, the speed those lads are running at. Going out for my own humble jog now. If I stay to watch finish lunch gets screwed up and family issues come into play. Good luck to Irish contingent. Look forward to hearing how they got on later.

ThePiedPiper · 15-04-2012 11:03am

Still inside WR pace at 30km. But, it's down to 2 at the front. the pacers or other front runners have let it slip over the last 5km or so. It'll be a long 10km. I think Moses could just about do it, the last 10km in Boston last year was astonishing..

ThePiedPiper · 15-04-2012 11:09am

There's a couple of Ethiopians 15 seconds up the road from Moses, but all the coverage seems to be on Moses.. This could be a grandstand finish if those lads can keep the pace up.. Moses' pacer is gone..

dermCu · 15-04-2012 11:09am

Moses is about 20s back from the front 2 (Feleke and Adhane). On his own. All pacers are out. Don't think the WR is on. Still a chance but he'll have to finish really well for it.

ThePiedPiper · 15-04-2012 11:14am

Peter Kirui just dropped out.. Feleke and Adhane are just about inside WR pace and Moses is 20 seconds behind.. This isn't exactly going according to the script!!

Adhane looks screwed.. He actually missed his bottle pick-up and went back to pick it up!! Looks like he's really hurting.

Brianderunner · 15-04-2012 11:16am

Pretty much bang on WR pace at 35km. If they work together they'll break it, if they concentrate on the win they won't.

Bit of a balls up there at the water station.

Cartman78 · 15-04-2012 11:19am

It looks to be an astonishing pace alright - any chance that Mosop won't be able to close the gap?

Yeah, Feleke missed his drink then tried to take someone elses and dropped that as well. Both those boys at the front look like they are hurting

Cartman78 · 15-04-2012 11:23am

Will Mosop miss the Olympics if he doesn't get 1st place??

No chance.

His coach was saying that he probably has to break the WR to get selected.

If anything the gap is bigger ~ 25 sec. Its doubtful he'll close it now.

Depends on London next week but yeah it has to be a possibility now.

Sorry, ignore my answer. I thought he said 'make the Olympics', not miss them.

ThePiedPiper · 15-04-2012 11:33am

I don't think Moses has any hope of making the Olympic team now, regardless of what happens in London. I think at the very least he needed to win this and inside of 2.04 to get selected, neither of those things look like happening now. Mutai will probably win Boston tomorrow, and then whoever wins London. Disappointed for Moses, he obviously has enormous talent, probably pace was a bit fast today early on.

ThePiedPiper · 15-04-2012 11:37am

Adhane in 2.04.44 by about 3 seconds from Feleke with Moses another 15 seconds back. Seriously impressive stuff from the Ethiopians.

Zero chance alright. Ethiopians beating him is the final nail in the coffin.

Between this race and Dubai, Ethiopia have now added some doubt as to the nationality of the marathon champ in London too. Their team selection will be fascinating.

dermCu · 15-04-2012 11:39am

Adhane wins 2:04:48. Of the two I thought he looked worse for wear. Moses 3rd 2:05:01

G-Money · 15-04-2012 11:39am

Good run by the Ethiopians, who'd have thought Mosop would have finished 3rd.

ecoli · 15-04-2012 11:41am

Anyone have a link to live split updates?

Or how any of the irish are getting on?

Ha thanks I have the stream alright but unfortunately around the 2.12-2.18 mark the had an interview with some dude so not getting any updates on whether Connolly has come in yet. Thought Gold standard races had to provide live split updates?????

BeepBeep67 · 15-04-2012 11:53am

DNF

for me felt grand to 10 and started getting bad stomach cramps, tried to run it off still went through halfway in 1:29:30ish tried another gel but only felt worse. Bailed at 16.73 in 1:54 - 6:50 pace and high tailed to the nearest toilet. Back at the hotle feeling sorry for myself but will get over it.

Sorry to hear Dom. I am sure you will regroup from this blip and come back stronger

ultrapercy · 15-04-2012 12:01pm

Awful news Dom, but if you bailed out early, there's still the chance you could use the training to run again soon, if the interest is there. Could be alot of us down in Cork this year.

ecoli · 15-04-2012 12:18pm

Got reports that Catriona Jennings was on a standard pace with mile to go anyone know if she got it?

Brilliant stuff. I'll be honest heard she was going well but didn't expect that. Interesting what will have regards selection for London now.

Think so but don't think selection will come down to times alone. Different marathon courses will have a major impact on times etc. That's great news for her anyway. Hope she celebrates today and worries about selection criteria tomorrow. Fair fecks to Thornton and Connolly as well, they seemed to have given it a right lash. Regardless Irish marathon running is in a much better position than it has been in the last 10-15 years.

Sorry Dom. Similar story 2 years ago myself. You were sensible with bailing. At the time I carried on and it was a bad decision to do that on the day. You'd have felt a hell of a lot worse if you'd carried on.

Caprica · 15-04-2012 2:06pm

Congratulations to Catriona Jennings on getting the qualifying time,a fantastic performance. I wonder when will the selectors make their final decision?

Unlucky for Connolly and Thornton so close to the QT, the standards in Irish marathon running have improved dramatically. What time did Sergei do? Maybe if he got under 2:18, Moldova might send him on the B standard?

Sergiu did 2:15:25 or thereabouts.

Ouch. Great running, but you'd have to wonder about the last 10k story there. Don't know Amadeus' background or pb. Is this congrats or commiserations?
