Wanjiru, Mutai, Gharib sitting behind the pacemakers
Mile 4: 4:37...
Tower Bridge at 20k
Gharib hanging slightly back shortly before half way.
Half way: 1:01:35. Unreal.
The first break, initiated by 'granddaddy' Ramalaa. Noone expected the 37 year old South African and fellow lawyer to be a factor. But there he is, making the best of his experience having done eight London show downs. Hopefully we will see him back in NYC after a disappointing Worlds in Berlin.
Wanjiru fires immediate counterattack!
Kebede on the wheel, Gharib and Ramalaa fighting to stay in contention.
Gharib closes the gap but Ramalaa is dropped.
Wanjiru flying, Kebede staying in touch, Gharib dropped?
Kebede keeps eying Sammy.
Look at Mile 19: 4:25. FOUR TWENTY FIVE!
40k: Kebede still hanging tough and Gharib not out of sight!
Wanjiru almost misses his bottle and Kebede seems to sneak closer - one second gap only!
But Sammy kicks again, not willing to lose by any means!
1, 2, 3 with 400m to go. One last corner to the right and down the finish stretch.
