4 minute PR for the winner?!?
Correct. Not a surprise though given the history of massive PRs in Dubai.

Hayle dropped his water and angrily threw the cap
No, he caught a glimpse of the clock. Knew there'd be no record from the mile split. I'd be angry too. great race! -

Tufa through 25 km and hasn't slowed yet. She would be #2 all-time behind Paula if she kept that pace
She's powering on. Really impressive solo run.
LOL at all the fat Indian women walking their way to a 7 hour marathon on the other side of the road.
Fat Indian women? Were they in sarees?
What's a saree ?
Sari, Saree, transliteration from Hindi, a kind of wrapped dress that Indian women wear. I was poking fun at the ignorant (wow, filter blocked that?! LR has language filter now!?) that saw women in Dubai and assumed they were all from India.
Oh, you mean a sari ?!
Do you have any idea of the ethnic make up of Dubai ?
Hint - there are lots and lots of Indians here. I'm pretty good spotting Indian women, thanks. Even wearing bun huggers and fanny packs.
Since it's written in a different alphabet, it can be spelled on different ways. I thought "ee" would be more clear for the plural. Yes I am aware that there are some Indians in Dubai. But identifying them from across the road going in the opposite direction... I was/am skeptical. Are you not just taking a cheap shot at them? Do you have really sharp eyes? Okay, good eye, man. -

Wow, Hayle put a huge gap on Desisa in seconds.
Hi agip.
whoops -
Women's race, we've got CR holder Aselefech Mergia (first marathon since 2012), world half champ Gladys Cherono and Lucy Kabuu, who has run 2:19:34 and finished three secs behind Mergia when she set the CR in 2012.
This is Cherono (kiprono on her bib)'s debut. -

So Vail can go run Dubai and become a 2:06 guy? -

I think it only works if you're Ethiopian =) -
42K was done in 2:45, what a finish!
-
Was that Worku around 2:07:00 who ran the Houston marathon on Sunday?? Or possibly DNF'ed Houston.
-
What shoe is Hayle wearing? Adios or Energy? something else?
-
what was bekele's time?

Worku was supposed to run Houston and was on the entry list. But I don't think he raced it at all and instead ran Dubai. It annoyed me because I wrote the preview thinking he was in Houston. -

Nice finish, not seen that elsewhere but Canova told French newspaper L'Equipe yesterday that Bekele had an Achille's injury at Christmas (Google translation)
- I'm happy with his preparation considering the problems he faced . Inflammation of an Achilles tendon. Until mid-December, he gave up on several sessions. Arriving in Addis Ababa, I immediately called TECAR , a company specializing in the treatment of the pain ( with which collaborates Lavillenie ) , who sent us the right machine and best technician. After seven days of intense treatment , Kenenisa was training while reducing pain and inflammation. His tendon is not perfect, but a performance around 2 hours 4 ' seems possible. For the world record , it would be possible next year, even if Kenenisa is thinking of focusing on the Olympics. -
WOW!
