BTW DKs 10 mile would have earned her 4th in the 10 mile champs so it's not like she was Gallowalking.OK three woman ran 55;00 to 55;10 so she might have had to kick to get the 4th.

Go out to 10km at 2;21 pace then keep the win secure seems a good game plan designed to make a workout into a payday.
Yeah, true. I just saw the fade and the time and with how well other women are running now I wasn't liking Deena's chances in January. But as people have pointed out, there is plenty of time and it is freaking Deena Kastor so who knows.
Great to see Giliat do well guy is a baller! he ran at Cal...his brother may be more famous Yosef Ghebray may be more popular for the fact he is the school record holder for Cal in the 10k...Giliat was part of McMillian Elite for a while...super talent...Great to see this result for him, i think he has ability to run 2:10 for sure!!and Sergio Reyes,Asics Aggie! better know as Road Whore#2 Behind Christian Hesch!...But nonetheless a great guy, and that is a great result for him too! Rest was a nice young bunch of up and comers...Congrats to all of them!...and Glad to see Meb poised to make another Olympic team!

Why does Meb not have a contract with Nike? 62 minutes is very solid, I believe.
It's slower than Makau's split in Berlin. The first one and the second one.
She won by a huge margin. No need to go for time.

Ummm...I said "solid", not mind-boggling ridiculously fast, which is exactly what Makau did. Why compare a solid performance to the greatest marathon ever run as reasoning for Meb's contract with Payless shoes?
more hate on the letsrun message boards....
lets beat on Meb....an Oly silver medalist, multiple Oly Team member, NYC Marathon winner....
then lets rip Deena as she's improving with every race since having a child....oh yea, sub220 marathoner, winner of multiple major marathons, and a Oly Medal too, oh WR holder at 5K at one point too.
its a shame LetsRun has become this most of the time. A shame.

My point was that Meb doesn't have a lot going for him at this point in time anymore. He is an older runner hanging on to his (well deserved) fame. But with the likes of Mutai running NYC, it would be a miracle if he won.
Why would Nike pay someone like him if there are virtually hundreds of Kenyans who can run a 1:02 half?

because Meb is more marketable than a dime-a-dozen kenyan. why does anna kournikova get sponsored, even though she sucks at tennis? marketability...

Yes, but Anna Kournikova speaks fluent English, despite being Russian. Big impact on marketability.
I'm glad meb ran in puerto rico since he's not a real american
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
