I said as soon as he announced Berlin that he was going for sub-2. There was no other reason to run Berlin. Even if he doesn't make it, it's amazing to see him go for it
This.
Seit it in the other thread, too. Absolutely no reason for him to run Berlin, when he is not feeling at least 2:00:XX possibility.
Great day for marathoning regardless of outcome. I really respect this brave go 4 it attitude.
Again per Ken, that was the fastest 15K split in marathon history -- legal or not -- as it was 1 second faster than both his Wien and Monza sub 2 attempt splits. This is insane.
