Its under 2:30 anyway but he's gone off too fast, 16:48 for the first 5k. I hope I'm wrong.....

Its slipping, he's at 2:28 pace now and started at 2:22 pace. Hope he holds it together from here

Opus is going very well, isn't his PB around 2.55?

Keep it going lads

that first 10k was a bit too hard. I know you need to go off hard to get the quick times but that was bit too fast. Hope he can hold it together. I'd say he is in a world of pain and will probably have runners passing him too which can't help.

What's TPP's race number I can't get him on the tracker

Yeah, 2:54:xx. His target was 2:53:xx, but he's well under that atm.

Paul D's 25k split has steadied out, hopefully he can hold now...

DrQ's 20-25k split is 18:45. Picking it up!!!

yaboya1

This is great running.
All seven of them are either inside their target, or close enough that it's still very much on.
Come on!!

RFR TPP's last 3 5k splits are 19:48, 19:49, 19:47 that's what you call steady pacing!!

I like the way he has gradually picked up the pace since his first 5k (20:37) and then settled into a steady rhythm.

T runner

Kustys pace between 21.1k and 25k would give him a 76:56 second half and a 2:34:55 finish. He seems to be well in control and has a great chance.

Keep it going Q and finish it fast, I'm waiting to go to the beach

Paul D almost 19 minutes for 25-30k, over 2 minutes slower than his first 5k. looks like the fast start is hurting him. Projected time now outside 2:30

30k:

Krusty: 1:50:32
DrQ: 1:54:48
TPP: 2:00:00
Itziger: 2:08:07
opus: 2:00:57
HR: 2:33:21
Emer: 2:49:46

that's another great split for KC definitely going low 2.35s and if he has something left in the tank might even sneak under it.

He's slowing badly now. If only he could manage to rein himself in and not be so killer at the start he'd have done 2:27

18:18 there for KC, that sees his finish time creep down closer to sub 2:35
18:57 for DRQ, his second sub 19 in a row...

TRR_the_turd

another sub 19 split for DQ

Brilliant pacing by the Doctor. This is really keeping my mind off tomorrow! Fingers and toes crossed for the lads.

This is great stuff

the great thing about the tracker is between checkpoints it estimates their position based on their previous split. Great to see the lads hit the checkpoints bang on. With others who are slowing down you can see it's left hanging.

The race starts now. Keep it going lads.

KC and DQ are actually coming in ahead of the predictor. Accelerating at this stage must be an awesome feeling.
I wouldn't know

The morning has flown by tracking everyone. Dublin doesn't have checkpoints every 5km right?!
