The world record in the half marathon was broken this weekend in Lisbon, Portugal. It was previously held by Sammy Wanjiru. Zersenay Tadese of Eritrea smashed the world record in the Half Marathon today, clocking 58:23! That is 4:27 per mile! He also set the world record for 20k enroute. VDOT predicts a 2:02:27 marathon off that time! See race video here. He will be going head to head with Sammy at the London Marathon this April. Exciting!
Chuck, you beat Dean Karnazes at the Los Angeles Marathon by 10 minutes! Dean finished in 4:08:45. Of course Dean had a 500 mile warm up on his elliptigo!

the eliptogo was retarded. Sorry, not impressed with eliptical plus scooter.
Thank you for posting the race video from Tadese's world record half marathon. I really enjoyed watching it. A 4:27 per mile pace...amazing! The London Marathon should be great!
I was feeling a little down about my results from the LA Marathon, but knowing that I beat Dean Karnazes by a full 10 minutes makes me feel much better! I can not even begin to imagine what it would be like to run a marathon after 500 miles on a elliptigo. He is incredible! I saw someone riding one at the expo, and I have to agree with Ron, it did look kind of retarded!
I had to look it up.....
