Haile breaks the marathon world record again

Read this and see Berlin Marathon for more details.

I had thought that Sammy Wanjiru would be running this year and hence expected a record breaking attempt. I got it wrong by a year, but Haile broke it anyways. Expect a tough race next year as well.

I tip Wanjiru to break this record unless Kenenisa Bekele starts running marathons earlier than I think I will. While Wanjiru seems to have the talent required (and so far, he has shown mostly that while being short of marathon experience), Bekele is the big race man.

Unless, Haile does it again!
