the london marathon has announced its mens elite field today, led by geb, tergat. 2 americans kk and meb will be in the field. i will pick a major upset as benson cherono will reel in geb who fades after being on world recod pace for 35k, geb 2nd, martin lel 3rd and kk 4th. in the womans race i pick ochichi to win because of beginners luck followed by zhou then adere, if kastor runs(her website seems to say she is still deciding between boston and london as both are on the schedule, but it is extremely doubtful she runs both 6 days apart)i pick her to win.

1.benson cherono 20540
2. geb 20555
3.lel 20557
4.kk 20620
5. meb 20745

i confess i am a optimist and a fan more than a realist, and everything will have to go perfect for these times to happen. anyone else with predictions on this race?
