Universal Sports is only at the 33 minute point?

How many pace makers does one man need? He's got 7 of them!

Peckham · 20-09-2009 8:40am

Krusty and Rusty both through halfway within 4 secs of each other on 91mins.

Peckham · 20-09-2009 8:51am

...and Woddle through half on 1:48

asimonov · 20-09-2009 8:54am

Village Runner in 1:29

And through 25k now. Can they just pick it up just a little?

asimonov · 20-09-2009 8:57am

Ike in 1:46

Haile gone from sub 15 5ks to almost 16 for 35-40 - all over? Maybe the heat...

He's finished now hasn't he?

Racing Flat · 20-09-2009 9:09am

2.06.08, died a death, 61.45/64.23 splits. Doesn't augur too well for the field.

Haile winning the Berlin marathon was the first part of a big multisport accumulator bet I've got going this year. Now I just need the other 6 parts of it to come up and my €10 will magically turn into €23,000!

Now through 30k just under 2:10. Come on lads, big push needed!

Seem to have gone 44, 42, 43 for 10ks, so a controlled start might work out well.

Edit that may not be Krusty and Rusty - just 2 runners down as Boards AC

My gut feeling would be if the plan was 88.36 for half way and they've gone through in 91, it's not going to happen, but fingers crossed.

asimonov, what was village runners final strategy?

I've a feeling many people seem to be off their half way targets, might be very hot out there.

What price did you back him at?

VR was just going to follow the pacers to 35k and then see if he could push on for 2:58 or just hang on.

4/7 - it was the shortest odds bet in the accumulator!

Racing Flat · 20-09-2009 9:41am

The lads giving it a good lash with a strong 35-40

Racing Flat · 20-09-2009 9:42am

Haile was slowed to 3.27/km pace for last 2k. Very odd. Injured?

Update?

--amadeus-- · 20-09-2009 10:02am

HG home in 2:06:xx. Looked bloody hard.

Racing Flat · 20-09-2009 10:04am

A few Irish through in 3.00.xx. Painful.

Edit: Seems to be some discrepancies between the during race times given and the finishing splits.

Peckham · 20-09-2009 10:06am

Krusty and Rusty home in 3:01. Look forward to their reports, am sure they're disappointed, but tough going as it gets warmer there.

asimonov · 20-09-2009 10:09am

Sub3 in Berlin? Fcuk yeah! VR home in 2:59:08.

--amadeus-- · 20-09-2009 10:19am

That's 3 boardsies with 3:01s this year. Excellent runs by the two of them though, it looked tough out there.

Excellent run from VR - that's his first sub 3, isn't it? Bloody well done that man!!

Well paced, 89.45, 89.24 splits given I think. Job done.

Fair play. Great second half splits. Brilliant

I think Mithril also came in sub 3 at 2:59:03. A 90:43 first half then 88:03:eek:
Yeah pity about the other 3 guys at 3:01, but bloody excellent excellent

Just after my 20 miler I feel even better now.

asimonov · 20-09-2009 12:12pm

Great going by Ike, delighted for him.

wizwill · 20-09-2009 12:37pm

well done to everyone that did Berlin today, some great running! thanks for the updates from Boardsies too.

donothoponpop · 20-09-2009 1:56pm

Krusty berated me when I congratulated his 3:01 run- he says he did 3:00:50, and wants those 10 seconds! So close to sub 3!

GregTanner · 21-09-2009 12:06pm

Does anyone know the composition of the yellow "mineral drink" used in yesterdays' marathon. I'd like to know if it had any glucose in it. Hit the wall very hard at 28Km.

Funnily enough I started to struggle at about 28k there last year - when I wasn't expecting any problems until 35k at least...
