Oh man... For a second I thought Duncan Kibet was still running. I miss seeing Jamaica on the roads. -
pappas had a very good showing there. 4-7 are pretty bunched
-
sighs, thought Shalane would end America's Winless status at the Beach To Beacon run...
-
the local paper was calling Stephen Kibet (the actual 2nd place finisher) Duncan Kibet. It would have been an impressive return to form for Jamaica

Bedan Karoki is a beast! I've been following him ever since he got 5th at 2012 Olympic 10k final and he's been very consistent
Broke 60 in the HM in March, then 26:52 in May and PRE, this was nothing to him -
Seriously! She is 12 sec behind JH! SF is a level above. Marathon training and still rocked all the 10,000m runners.

No American had previously run sub-28:30 (Abdi 28:32, KK 28:39, Moran 28:43 were previous American bests). KK ran 27:48 to win in 1999 while still running for Morocco.
Karoki's winning time makes him number two performer behind Gilbert Okari, who has course record at 27:27. -
dang, so many runners, so little prize money...

Chris Solinsky - Age grouper extraordinaire!
M25-29 1/279
Congrats Solinsky! -
Ol' Meb's got the moves too: beat Solinsky by 3 seconds.

Top 10 from past years:
http://www.beach2beacon.org/top-10-finishers
This info has Keflezighi running 27:58 for 4th in 2007, which (if this is correct) was the fastest USA man & highest USA man's finish prior to today.
Steel's & Flanagan's 31:26 = 4th fastest in this race's history, behind:
Lineth Chepkurui 30:59 (2010)
Wude Alayew 31:07 (2010)
Joyce Chepkurui 31:23 (2013)
= Alventina Ivanova 31:26 (2006) -
Shalane was closer to Solinsky than Solinsky was to the winner.
So sad. What a precipitous fall from grace. -
^ I see now from looking at the results link above that Flanagan's time is listed as 31:27, so that would be #6.

Thanks, I missed Meb . . . -
Some local Boston, blue collar guys (Brian Harvey and Eric Ashe) mixed it up with the high paid professionals like Solinksy and Meb
