The elites have special drinks pre-prepared.. he can't pick up a normal one.
Are you actually not allowed to or do the elites just decide not too and have their own?
Thought that earlier when Dibaba dropped hers and went back as there was a table full of lucozade round the corner! Would make sense why she did if she isn't allowed to take the 'normals' drinks.

They're allowed to but it's not something they'd want to do because it wouldn't be what they trained with or prepared to drink. It might give them an upset stomach or just clash with the other drinks they've consumed and cause problems so they'll wait for the next elite table.
I wonder if Mo collapsing at NY caused him to adjust his goals for today and he decided not to take the race on. Just seems really odd to me that he was never in this. In half marathons he's had no problem staying with the lead packs but today he just picked a pace and didn't go with the leaders at all. But at other times he looked desperate to speed things up. Weird.

Women's elite or the guided runners.
What's wrong with that?

Must be guided runners, the Kiplagats hadn't got there at that point.

Mo went for a normal water though and dropped that too. Is it for risk of doping?
No different to when Gabreselaissie runs in Ethiopia.
..and there he is. I think he's brilliant, enjoying himself too.
I'll be happy if he beats the guy wearing the long socks !!
It's just not right .
