I'm going to guess that his coach is being conservative and go with 2:03:45, putting his best time well ahead of 2:03:59.
Your turn. Go.

Weather looks good, currently 13c at 3.50am max forecast 22c, wind 6/8km/hr expected to stay around the same, precipitation zero.
Good conditions so 2:3:28.
PR, CR, but no Ethiopia or World record yet

2:07:11 in the Dubai heat, and goes home devastated.

You're probably trolling but, I'm not expecting the heat to bother him.

Remember the only cross country race Kenenisa lost during his peak was in the heat of Mombasa Kenya!

Remember the heat in Mombasa for that race isn't in the slightest bit comparable to the heat in Dubai in 3/4 hours time.
I agree it is incomparable but it is an indication that Kenenisa is susceptible to heat. Now take into account that the marathon distance is almost four times that of cross country. That should paint the picture I am trying to put across.
