Alberto cant do that...
The only way he could do that is if he drank gallons of EPO...
Sounds Similar to Galen Rupp

Mile 16-17 at NYC might be the fastest 2nd half mile for all 35,000 competitors. You cannot underestimate the adrenaline pumping that occurs when you fly downhill off the bridge and are greeted by 5-deep crowds. It's unbelievable. Too bad it's not an 18mile race.
It's one of the reasons it's hard not to love Ramaala, he always ran with such emotion.
I recall an interview with him before one of his later NY marathons where he stated he was one of the wiser heads of the field now and it was easy for the young bucks to get carried away and do something silly there...
Cut to the race and who was leading the pack running down off the bridge? The guy's a legend...
