Ok nevermind people I am no longer predicting that Bret Gothcher wins. There is a surprise runner who showed up in place of Teshome. Now as far as what happened to him and if the problem was between him and the organizers or more with his agent I have no clue. But I highly doubt it's the marathon committee that is holding his money but there could be stories and details that we don't know so I won't get into it. Bottom line is he is not here and they can do what they want and if it explodes and Ethiopians come with those signs at the finish line and they chant thats their problem not mine. If rain doesn't create so much problem then it looks like it will take at least high 2:08 to win it. Look for a sub 13min 5ker to win it. His name starts with a B. Good luck to everyone.
