I hope he runs a great race. He's obviously better at the longer distances, although this is a distance he's probably never raced before, or at least not seriously race it. I predict he'll finish 8 - 10 min. behind Gebreselassie. |

I always rememebered this race as one you had to qualify with a 2:12. Therefore he shouldn't be running unless that's his goal. He's obviously cabably of it, unless he goes out in 1:04. Its his first marathon. The key is can he run smart or let the easy 4:50 pace sucker him into going for it on his first shot. That's the gamble and the difference from running an amazing debut or limping in at 2:20. And going all the way to Japan to run 2:20. Its a 2 hour tempo run and then its something totally different. |

I think he will run 2:12-2:13. Which is a good time for his first major marathon. |

Remenber that Fukuoka is not NY, its quite a diffrent course-very flat and you dont have all the turns they hve in NY. So to say he's better than Ritz is a long strech. Look at how many people ran poorly in NY. He's very economical so he should do well if he's healthy.

Sorry if it's off-topic, but I'm constantly amazed that not more people run Fukuoka. That must be a great experience - such a small field, great course, lots of spectators. It's not that hard to get in. 2:27 for the A standard and 2:45 for the B standard (recently relaxed). It doesn't mention any restrictions, and there's, what, 1000 US men who run sub-2:45 each year and presumably several thousand Europeans. Is there something wrong with this race that I'm not aware of. Is Fukuoka the Milwaukee of Japan, is that why nobody goes? |

OK fine, but Europeans do. So what's wrong with Fukuoka. Wrong time of year perhaps? |
