Predict the winning time at London (men)

[joeltetreault]

London has pacemakers instructed to go on WR pace for the first 20M...with a great field in tow.

[EPelle]

Gosh, I stink at these games, but 2.04.27-ish.... let's see.

[kuha]

Everything depends on the weather, temp, wind, etc. I'll go out on a limb and guess 2:04:08.

[joeltetreault]

I'll predict Geb keeps his WR a little longer. Winner runs 2:04:15.

[SQUACKEE]

I went with the majority, 2:04-2:04.30. I think a sub 2- 0- 4 takes a couple tries.

Just checked tomorrow's weather: they're calling for ca. 50F and showers.

[EPelle]

If the winner runs between 2.04.00 - 2.04.59, will you be excited? Well-pleased? Satisfied? It feels like the days where guys were just starting to cluster in under 13.00 for the first time.

[LopenUupunut]

My guess: 2:04:5x

All of us that didn't participate and can now claim we knew better :wink:

Not me, I was more pessimistic.

Obviously not me!
