Tweet from NYRR was Gebre Gebremariam shatters the CP 10K record in the HK10K! 27:39 unofficially.
Nothing else reported
Was there and saw Kamais finish just seconds behind Gebre. An incredible performance by both on a windy day and a difficult, hilly course. Easily worth sub-27 on a flat course.

I predict by the fall if healthy he can run a marathon this fast. A good first effort back in my opinion.
I ran this morning. Windy? I don't think so. Weather was perfect. The clockwise loop is not flat, but not what I would call "difficult."

a good first effort? no f***ing way. he's done, toast. this should have been declared at least a year ago.
It's a difficult course.
It wasn't particularly windy.

....UMmmmmmmm....

what happened to bobby curtis, curtis ran a great track 10k at stanford a couple of weeks ago, some will say he was tired, which could be somewhat true, but someone who just ran a 27:33 on the track should not finish about 3 minutes behind ANYONE in a road 10k, not even k. bekele on k. bekeles race of his life, even if curtis went out too fast he would not lose by 3 minutes to ANYONE in the worlds history, being that he just ran 27:33 2 weeks ago.
anyone know what happened to him? after his race at stanford i thought he would at least be top 3 in this race, i am confused at this result.
He has struggled with insomnia.
I saw the runners coming by about three-quarters of a mile in and Curtis was already well back, not contending. Apparently he was feeling leg-weary from that 27:33 and sort of treated the whole thing as a tempo run..or a threshold run..I don't even know the difference.
