Um, Korir dispatched Hawkins in a HEAD TO HEAD RACE last month. (One in a series of wins, only running hard enough to take first.)
That's the final word.
We're talking about the best HM'er here
I'm not going to compare a 5 mile race on grass to a 13.1 mile race on the roads
Especially considering Hawkins is the marathoner and Lenny is the 10k guy
Yes, the Houston race was hot, some people were saying substract around 50-60 seconds for heat conversion, but that still puts Hawkins 60:00 on top plus it typically gets pretty humid in Tokyo and the air quality isn't as good
I'm sorry but for HM purposes Hawkins >> Korir
