When I woke up last Monday morning, I had never heard of Kelsey Bruce or Matt Crowe. Five days later, I was cheering them on at the World Cross Country Championships in Aarhus, Denmark.
"Many outstanding athletes become number one. But not all champions can enjoy the distinguished honour of being first."
Cheptegei wants to "dominate the track for the next five or six years" and then consider moving to the marathon.
Crowe is 28-year old American with a 13:57 PB who is currently living in London. The story of how he got there, going from 15:40 in college to 13:57, is incredible.
It's also the toughest course that Shalane Flanagan or Tim Hutchings has seen as well.
She was a fan of the course though saying, "It was real cross country. This was proper tough - real hills, real muck, real water, everything was real about it..."
