Nice race, Meb. But dude, you need to figure out that you can't let people go in the 2nd half of races, because you can't close very well.

YEAH ITS JUST THAT EASY MEB....DUH..WHAT WAS HE THINKIN?
this might be time to post some of my recent race results.
Meb >2:09
It's close for the course record, he's picking it up, yes! He got it BARELY!
I guess I have that problem too with a PR of 3:19...
Yeah, he closed pretty badly in Athens.
2:07:13 Cheruiyot takes the record!
2:07 13 or 14!! New record by :01 or :02
Why are you bashing Meb? Could you go out there and hang as long as he did? No...
So when you can, then you can say stuff.
Meb went for it, but just couldn't keep up the pace. A great race, but Cheruiyot was too strong today. (And Maiyo, too.)
GOTTA LOVE SELL. ANYONE BASHING HIM IS A LOSER
ummmm....I don't think he "let them go"
Meb in the picture (tv) think hes in 3rd/ 2:07"13 for cheriout +- 1sec...awaiting the next finishers...

Where are all his major marathon victories? He's got to figure out a way to hang on and not dig himself a hole. The argument that I couldn't do it is just stupid. If that was a valid point, there would be no sports media in general.
