When haile ran 2 03 a few years back it was termed as the finest piece of marathon running ever seen now that time is ranked 8th A 2 02 at that time seemed impossible even to the race organisers with all the talk about "perfect conditions". Waiting to see what time bekele will post in chicago am sure next year he will be in berlin then we may find out how long before we start seeing 2 01s

Boston will never be ratified because there's an 'illegal' gradient. Chicago will almost always not be ratified because of wind, it has to be a very nice day with wind just bordering on illegal. Berlin has the perfect course, lovely weather and the psychological 'thing' that makes athletes believe it can be done (marathon is 60% mental 30% physical and 10% luck)) Boston is not a record breaking course for another reason. The weather in April in new England is often terrible. Mutai and Mosops 2011 performance was a clear outlier. The other fast courses are Rotterdam and Frankfurt but they tend not attract the top cream. I am not aware that wind is a factor in ratifying Marathon records. Great performance by Kimetto! *"The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement. But the opposite of a profound truth may well be another profound truth."* (Niels Bohr)

It was a pacing error and the rabbits corrected it right away (I remember something similar happened to Haille during a record attempt). The really amazing thing is Kimmeto doing a negative split at those speeds and still having the energy to kick at the end. Simply amazing. *"The opposite of a correct statement is a false statement.

As long as you're going to be thinking anyway, think big

Are you aware Geoffrey Mutai did 2:3:02 in Boston in 2011, then a world record which was not ratified? http://www.nytimes.com/2...ts/19marathon.html?_r=0 Relevant c&p "Times in races on such courses, even difficult rolling ones like Boston’s, can be significantly affected by a tail wind, which was the case Monday, when the wind was blowing 15 to 20 miles per hour."
