The Week that Was: October 6 - Oct. 12, 2008 - LetsRun.comPublished by
The Week That Was October 6 - October 12, 2008 Our
weekly recap known as "The Week That Was" is back. We originally
planned on having the recap take a brief Olympic Trials/Olympic
Games-induced hiatus, but it extended a little longer than anticipated.
Now don't call us lazy. Just as it's vitally important that all
distance runners make themselves take some down time every year, the
same is true for running a kick-butt distance-oriented web site. The
Chicago Marathon was highlighted by an absolutely insane race on the
men's side. The guys ignored the warmer-than-ideal conditions and ran
fast from the start - so fast that the rabbits couldn't keep up for
much more than 10 miles. In the end, you had a thrilling duel between Evans Cheruiyot and David Mandago which
saw a lead change in the 22nd mile before Cheruiyot got the win in
2:06:25 and emerged as a new marathon star just as we predicted he
would.
