    Just saw Gary go through there, but I have no idea how many laps or whether it's good bad or indifferent news.....

    ditto. I see he's wearing his AK singlet and number nice and high on his chest. For some unexplainable reason that high number annoys the $hit out of me :)

    Looks like the tracker is down or else they all stopped for dinner.

    It says 6.02 pm on useless tracker, but I'd trust that less than digger in a teenage disco!

    Gary looks like he is slowing badly as Raivis who runs for West Waterford isn't far behind him.

    My mistake. It definetely started at 3.02. That was probably his 35k split.

    Welcome to the land of the IAU.... This tracking is typical of their endevours! I've never seen an organisation start so many communications with the words "we apologise" :rolleyes:

    Anyway, Gary looks like he is pacing beautifully.! Very frustrating not have more infor on how Orna is doing.

    I'd just like to reiterate as bad as this tracking is, you'd think digger would have his fcuking phone with him!

    If only we knew someone over in Qatar that was not running and had some way to communicate with them.

    If. Only.

    I never thought I'd say this but I think this coverage is worse than the Chicago Marathon...

    In an act of retaliation I've just rang the Qatar authorities and informed them that they aren't married! That should be enough to have his mickey chopped off!

    just looking at their 5k splits and on average both are slowing by a minute per 5k. Based on last couple of splits, Orna seems to be slowing at a slighter faster rate though!

    Zakis's splits are all over the place. They have a couple of his 5k splits at 40 minute jobs yet have him at 9th. I think they somehow didn't register two of his splits on the clock.

    Conditions are tough. 29 degrees and 60% humidity (which all things considered isn;t too bad). They've known about these conditions since May so if they've prepared right the last 10k could see them pick up places!

    Thought it would be much worse than that. Was expecting high 30's at least. Still tough when you've been training through an Irish autumn.

    Gary put on a spurt from 40-45k (20:45) and moved up to 4th.
    Orna thru 35k but slowing badly (28:25) but still moves up a place to 13th
