Wow - his old PR was 2:07:13 which was the only time he went sub 2:10! I'm starting to believe there are literally hundreds of 2:05 guys back in Kenya:

2:07;13 was his debut and only previous marathon, i will run my marathon debut in april, not sure which one yet, i hope in under 2:06
Frankfurt's course is even a bit faster than Berlin and today we had perfect weather conditions in Frankfurt. Often it's pretty windy but not today...
Good luck Silas!
