Spare a thought for Markos Geneti of Ethiopia in the Dubai marathon.
Imagine the interview
'Well, Markos, how did you get on?'
'Really well, ran 2 hrs, 4 mins 54 seconds'
'That's brilliant. An easy win, then?'
'No, I was 3rd'

Froggy understands (naturally). It would have been a world record 3 years ago. It's only a minute outside the world record.
2;4:54 would win 99 marathons out of 100. This poor sod was 3rd. Absolutely unbelievable that 3 men run under 2hrs 5 minutes in the same race. The winner ran the 4th fastest ever marathon.

Dubai is hardly the best conditions for a marathon either.
