    Small detail, but am surprised by the gear being worn by some of the runners. Have seen plenty of tshirts, some tights, someone listening to their iphone.

    Surprising given the quality of athlete and hot conditions....

    the world 50k has about 50 athletes. Roughly 25 men and women. The remaining of the field and some of the guys you mention are most likely locals. The trophy race is incorporated into a larger open race.

    Guessed that just after I posted that. Some look in worse shape than me, which is saying a lot.

    I saw one lad go past who would look more at place in the front row of a Samoan scrum than at an elite ultrarunning event. Maybe my eyes were deceiving me, or it was some volunteer running by.

    Also, how come we're not getting a lap-by-lap commentary here from her coach? Any inside information?!

    only that she is running off heart rate rather than pace for the first half of the race. Waiting for this fecking 15k split and that will give a good indication how she's getting on

    yes Raivis Zakis split is missing too! Either it's down or she has found some sense and ran off on digger with Zakis ;)

    It's being run in conjunction with a 50k relay event. I'd say a lot of local punters are only doing 5k

    There she is again. Would recognise that dopey gait anywhere :pac:

    edit: still around 22 mins per 5k based on the two times I've seen her on camera, assuming the camera is on the 5k point.

    Just home now, anywhere we can track overall results rather than just individual? The Stuweb page shows nothing...

    yep seen her there and she looks ok. If she's hitting those splits she should come through the field nicely. Would love to know her current position!

    I'd settle for an individual tracker that would work but like you was hoping to get an idea of overall field.

    I'm watching this in a boozer in Spain having a few pints. I could be a dribbling mess by the time this is over!

    If I offend, bully or attack any individuals/nations/species/sex over the coming hours I apologise in advance

    What's a good result? What's a great one? Presumably good one would be to match her seeding (7th?) and great one would be to beat it?

    I think she is actually seeded 9th but there are a few wild cards as well that aren't on that list. 3/4 sub 2.45 marathon runners.
