A few months ago I would have said no way, but now I'm not so sure. If I had to bet I'd say he won't do it but not with great confidence.
I predict that it won't happen. If he finishes the race he will win in a non-WR time, but dropping out is a possibility. Any guesses on race day temperatures? Guessing cooler than I think, but is it ever ideal marathoning weather in Dubai?
Have you seen the man made islands in Dubai that are shaped like palm trees ... and the money they have?
They will build the perfect marathon course.
It is probably dug into the earth with a 200m curve, a 13 mile back stretch, another 200m curve and a 13 mile home straight with no hills on a synthetic surface and 48 degree F. wind-free air temperature, rabbits gallore and a billion dollar performance incentive.

I can assure you I will pass the drug test after this race!
This made me laugh. Thanks. :)
Just make sure to check the course distance.
OK, they are only offering a million dollar performance incentive.

NO HE IS NOT ATTEMPTING TO BREAK THE MARATHON WR. I understand that the public is stupid, but this is ridiculous. IT IS CALLED PROMOTION. It is part of the deal when you are the WR holder. When you go to an event that wants a WR you state that is your intention and it helps too promote the event. IT DOESN'T MEAN THAT IT IS TRUE.

Nor does it mean that it's not true. Geb has a history of going into races with the stated goal of breaking the world record and many times he has done so.
