You're running slower without tailwind.
Well since Ryan Hall ran 2:06 at London he should have run 2:05 yesterday too (according to this logic).

It was a headwind, not a tailwind. That's what makes his performance all the more impressive
Looks like Cheruiyot the younger is ready to crack sub 2:04.
Here are his splits (unofficial I cribbed from various sources), and notice he closed out in 4:44 pace, which included that little dip under Mass. Avenue.
Easily (IMHO) one of the 10 greatest marathon performances of all time.

I mean, you got yourself all hot and bothered arguing about where he trains... so it would make sense if you at least know where that is?
Ventolin^2 silenced?
POD!!
He hasn't trained in Iten for a long time. He was there way prior to Frankfurt '08. He trains in Kapkitony which is far higher than Iten. I believe it is close to 9000 ft.
