She would have been right on it if she had the pacing Paula did.

What can Mary do with sensible pacing?
She still looked comfortable through the finish today. Outstanding race.

Really hard to imagine a sub 2 after watching this. Gutsy race, stacked field, perfect conditions. They went out in an ambitious pace and struggled to run under 2:06
Lol!

This is Wanjiru's.
No, it is not.

What you guys fail to notice is that London is a HARD HARD course.
London is simply HORRIBLE for pacing.

Paula was paced by men and Salazar and Armstrong. Todays race was the real woman's record.

MARY KEITANY WINS IN 2:16:57! WOMEN'S ONLY WORLD RECORD.
HA! I'm neither Rift Valley nor Mt. Kenyal, therefore a true Kenyan neutral 😆 I however think the competition between them is very healthy and good for the country. Hope we'll see a new Sammy or John Ngugi. Oh, and I worked with wildlife in Laikipia some years ago, so I know Rumuruti very well. It's the confluence of both communities. Very beautiful county.

We are not too far off from you guys.
These boys are from my neck of the woods. We aren't too far apart. They are from Nyandarua and I am from Laikipia ....not very far from Rumuruti.
Central has great talent too. A lot of it.
Mary Wacera Ngugi is quite good at the half and so is Veronica Nyaruai to some extent .
Nyahururu and Nyeri are the 'iten' of running outside Iten and Eld.
Kipchoge and Kipsang remain the men but I think Wanjiru, Karoki and Kamworor are the heirs apparent when these guys retire.
We are in good hands as a country.
Tuko Pamoja....lol!
Oh,
