Here is my ultimate race, the distance 3km.
The field:
Keninesa Bekele
Silihs sihine
Eluid Kipchoge
Ezekial Kemboi
Said saif Shaheen
Hicham El Guerrouj
Bernard Lagat
Paul Tergat
Alan Webb
Craig Mottram
Nick Willis
Mike East
Haile Gabresailese
Yuriy Borzakovsky
Meldhi Baala
The Prize: All the money you could imagine for the top three, plus the undisputed title of best runner on the planet.
The Penalty: The loser gets shot and killed. Or in a less dramatic version forfits the rest of his career.
Tell them 6mths out this is what it is all about, nothing else matters. Go away prepare, train, peak for the race of your life.
This race represents the ultimate for me personally only, many other people will change an athlete here or there but the fact remains people will pay handsomley to see a good race. I would pay a $1000 to see this go ahead.
Yours Please
