London Marathon
The London Marathon is this sunday.
The guys at LetsRun describe the field this way:
"Flora London Marathon is Sunday:This marathon is the richest and most competitive in the world. Take a look at this years men's field: arguably the 2 greatest distance runners ever, Haile Gebrselassie and Paul Tergat, the greatest marathoner ever, Khalid Khannouchi, defending champ Felix Limo (undefeated in his last 2 marathons Chicago 05, London 06), 2 time world champ Jaouad Gharib, Olympic champ Stefano Baldini, NYC champ Marilson Gomes dos Santos, Olympic silver medallist Meb Keflezighi, and fellow American Ryan Hall who will be making his much anticipated debut after his 59:43 half marathon. (Hendrick Ramaala and Martin Lel as well)".
They have a whole collection of related articles including the inside story on Meb's blister and Hall's strategy. If you aren't reading letsrun regularily you should. The link is just to the left.
This will be an awesome race. TV coverage will of course be average but there are a number of good web sites that will be streaming video. I will put some links up saturday morning if anyone is interested.
