Oh... and Meb winning this thing at 36 and two months after his PR in NY? I don't think the top guys really need such long recovery between great races. Holding this thing in January may be a mistake.

WTF Malmo? Hall was born at 7000ft. Is that not altitude to you?


Hall was born in Kirkland Washington. I've been to Kirkland Washington. Trust me on this, it is not at 7500' altitude. It might be 7500' feet away from the sea, I'll give you that.

Altitude matters.


I think Meb's the only American born at altitude that's under 2:10

Khannouchi - born Meknes, MOR, 1797 feet
Hall - born Kirkland, WA, 75 feet
Abdi - born Mogadishu, Somalia, 95 feet
Meb - born Asmara, Eritrea, 7755 feet[/quote]

Ok, let me get something right. Meb is 1st male to make team, then make it again 8 years later.

It would have been way easier for me to just talk about place of birth instead of altitude but that's not politically correct

No clapping in the media room but Meb Keflezighi has run in unofficially 2:09:10 and the media room has clapped for Meb.

Hal 2nd. Here comes Abdi in 3rd. Ritz close actually about 10 seconds back.
