since everyone is on kipchoges nuts and swallowing his 2:00:25 ejaculate....and claiming if conditions were perfect then he would have run 2:02:30...here is whats up.
they took off hell bent on the WR, but the weather was a major issue. kipchoge said this was his most grueling marathon and i will tell you why.
they were on 2:02:30 pace in that rain, and that rain in the end caused kip to be a minute off...so if you think about it they were giving a 2:01:30 effort and only managing to be on 2:02:30 pace. KB started to falter, instead of ruining his legs more he opted to drop out and save himself for another day. kipsang kept trying, the pace slowed and he was still on 2:02:59 pace, but you have to understand in that weather he was putting in a way faster effort. at 30k his body had had enough and died, no mas, no mas.
i would say this run for kipchoge is more impressive than his london run, cause he was predicted to be at 2:02:30 fitness, so to run the hardest most painful marathon yet and it was 2:03:30s then you can see how impressive it was, especially considering that KB has a 2:03:03 PR and kipsang said he was in way better shape than ever before.
sh*t if ruppy poop was in that weather he would have run a 2:12
