    The pace seems to be slowing considerably. Lelisa and Kipsang haven't moved a step in 3 minutes.

    Wozniacki through 17 miles with average pace of 7.47. Be interesting to see if she fades.

    Wozniacki gone through 20 miles. Still holding pace fairly well.
    I think she was meant to be getting married today.

    He was entered Tbl but he's not on the tracker and I didn't see him at the start or the first mile or two. He could of DNS.

    Kipsang was on a half million bonus if he won, no bonus for Desisa. I was waiting to see if they'd do a deal. When Desisa came alongside Kipsang said "ok so, 50 grand". Desisa said "sound, boss" and eased right off.

    Someone said earlier her longest run was 13 miles. Given her times I doubt it.

    She said she hadn't run for any longer than 1hr 45mins at one time. I also struggle to believe this is true given her finishing time, and especially considering there was less than a minute between her fastest & slowest mile. Seems to me like she trained a little harder/better than she's letting on.

    I would think so too. Given it was meant to be her big day, she might not have wanted to have a bad race and trained well without it being known.
    I don't think the average tennis player would need/have endurance fitness like that.

    She could be an untrained 3:0x marathon runner who ran within herself to get around for all we know. 3:26 isn't exactly lightning fast.
