I know, I know. New York is giving them large appearance fees. But if they ran Valencia, the American Record -- 2:05:38 -- would be theirs for the taking.
So instead of getting the AR, they'll place like fourth and fifth at New York in 2:08. Yawn.
I think 2:05 is a bit aggressive, but ya I could see them both running 2:06 on a fast course like Valencia after running 2:08 mid on the Paris course.
