From the CHICAGO MARATHON web site's History section: "Hollywood couldn't have scripted it better: a World Record for the men, a photo finish for the women and a monster field. Chicago had it all on this chilly (mid 30s at the start) yet sunny October morning. Kenya's Moses Tanui had a 26-second lead on the pack by mile 20 and stretched that to 33 seconds by mile 21 when Khalid Khannouchi took over the second position. From that point on, it was a two-man race with Khannouchi effectively reeling in Tanui. As Tanui grabbed fluid at the elite station at the 40K mark, Khannouchi flew by him and was chasing only the record book. The men's leaders had already been on World Record pace most of the race, but Khannouchi had switched into another gear, finishing in an incredible 2:05:42, the first man ever under 2:06, and 23 seconds ahead of Ronaldo da Costa's old World Record. Tanui trailed him in and just missed the old world mark by 11 seconds (2:06:16), still good for the third fastest marathon ever run. Khannouchi collected $65,000 for the win, a $100,000 bonus and a new Volkswagen Beetle for breaking the World Record. American David Morris, an Alaskan native who had been training and racing in Japan, put forth an impressive run of 2:09:32. He finished fourth behind defending champ Ondoro Osoro (2:08:00)." http://www.ChicagoMarathon.com http://www.FoxNews.com/SPORTS http://www.bankofamerica.com http;//www.FrankShorter.net http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Shorter ----------------------------------------­------------------------------- NOTE: If you're not an ELITE runner like Joyce Chepchumba & Margaret Okayo and would be happy to squeak in just under four hours then this is the video for you: a SUB-4hr Marathon: INSPIRATION is HERE http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWL8Qr... ~~~~~~~ Training programs are provided in the Chicago metro area by the Chicago Area Runners Association for everyone from beginners to marathoners.
