"unofficial WR" means ineligible for WR becuz' the course isn't set-up for WR attempts.
Easier just to say course-enhanced time.
Why is the course not legal for records?

Because it’s a net downhill cheater course like Boston, CIM, Grandma’s, etc...
Equals 2:15 marathon or 29:15 10K...nothing but cleanliness as far as the eye can see.
Talking about it beforehand, I wondered if Mary could push her to 65.15. Again I have underestimated Brigid. Definitely only Ruth that can stop her now.
Well, clean 2:15 was already possible in 2003, so yes, nothing to see here.

Only 30m net downhill. It's basically flat overall. The rolling hills make the course tough in my opinion. Bridget Kosgei would run a similar time in a flat course, she will break the WR

I agree with this. Yes, it's an overall net downhill but there looks to be enough uphill to keep things honest. Some people just put a blanket statement on CIM/Boston/downhill courses and label them as cheater courses. I think those courses can be tougher than a pancake flat course.
Does anybody know whether there was a tailwind? It looks like if there was any significant wind from the west on that course, it could make a big difference.

Boston as a cheater course? Looks like we found the 3:11 guy...

Yes, because every fast time is due to PED's. (correction: every fast time by an E. African?)
You're such a dope (well, we know you smoke a lot of dope. This is likely not a coincidence: dopehead is a dope who thinks all others are doped)

Kosgei WILL be favored in Chicago, but I hope she pulls Hasay to a really fast time like 2:16-2:17.

I don’t think Hasay is in the same league as the 2nd to 5th placers in London.

Keep dreaming.
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
