What makes this funny to me is that this was a very high-class field.
Perhaps the best field of any event at the GWG. This group contains a
world champ, Oly champ, indoor 2M record holder, and a bunch of general
bad-asses.
Perhaps the tiny field and unusual parity led to nobody taking any risk.
Do these guys have to go slow when there is no rabbit?

GWG 5000 results compared with athlete's PR. Ironically Bitok had the
slowest and only non-sub 13 minutes (barely) PR:
15:26.10/13:00.10 - 1. Paul Bitok
15:26.61/12:56.50 - 2. Luke Kipkosgei
15:26.63/12:59.97 - 3. John Kibowen
15:26.70/12:58.57 - 4. Hailu Mekonnen
15:27.94/12:54.07 - 5. Sammy Kipketer
15:28.00/12:56.72 - 6. Richard Limo
15:30.51/12:59.39 - 7. Million Wolde
