A bit off topic for tax payment bonus miles, but Robert Cheruiyot of Kenya won the men's race in 2:07:14, a course record by one second. He had been under the record pace by as much as 2+ minutes around the middle of the course but slowed a bit, relative to record pace, after that. Another Kenyan, Benjamin Maiyo, was second. U.S. runners took 3rd, 4th and 5th, the best showing for Yank men in years. A third Kenyan, Rita Jeptoo, won the women's race in 2:23:38.

For those who want to continue the Marathon discussion, it's in this thread in Omni. (Apologies to the non-Omni-enabled.)
