Default Geb smashes marathon WR in Berlin!

Haile Gebrselassie ran an incredible 2:03:59 in Berlin!!! He set the record there last year with a 2:04:26.



Also, a cool blog/coverage of the feat:

I wonder if we're going to see a sub-2 marathon one of these days!

WTF.

Incidentally, Meb Kefleghzhi (sp?) spends winters training in San Diego. I read that he does some runs at the trail park near my base. Wonder if I'll run into him sometime!
