It's called degrees celcius. You know, that thing that the rest of the world uses.
Wow, way to completely miss his sarcasm.
Oh, and nobody uses celcius. They use celsius, named for Anders Celcius. If you're gonna correct people, atleast be right. :)

According to The Weather Channel, it was 77F and 59% humidity in NYC during the race. Not exactly world record conditions, but the Africans ran a lot faster in those conditions than the North Americans did.
Perhaps the Kenyans were prepared for the "horrific" conditions in NYC because they trained in Mombasa on the "home field?"
I'd say a lot of the North Americans were better prepared for the heat than the Africans.
If you train in Iten, you get 20-degree temperatures year round. A guy like Coolsaet, who I presume trains in southern Ontario, probably sees more days around 30 degrees.
The reason the Africans ran better is that they're faster. Everyone was around 20-30 seconds off their PB.

Fam was 43 off his PR...
'Interesting' results, to say the least.
Probably BOTH Fam's and Summerside's only bad race all year, so you know something had to have been the common culprit.
They'll both be back and ready to roll at Nationals.

Was his 10k dnf not considered a bad race because he didn't finish, or what?

Where they only have to compete against (perhaps nationalized) Americans, but not face the gap to the international world class.
Songok was 39 seconds over his PB. But that PB is three soconds better than the AR--and that's why most Americans don't happen to give a damn about distance races.
How is Fam going to compete against Broe, Teg and Hall at the Nationals.
gotta love Fam, but man he bombed.

Actually, T. Bekele was just slightly more than 10 seconds off his PB.
