He was a late entry, but he's been targeting a January marathon for some time. He said he would probably run Dubai. So don't count him out as underprepared.
Kales might be the single best marathon pace-setter in the world. He's so good that Dave Bedford and co. made sure to allot him a space on the special plane they had to charter last spring to retrieve Wanjiru, Kibet, Tadese, and others from East Africa after the volcanic eruption in Iceland.
