Re: GEB does it again
Geb is truly incredible and one of the most gifted endurance atheltes of all time. Apparently, he through down a 13:36 5K split enroute - simply amazing! To put it in perspective, Dathan Ritzhenheim's PR is < 15 seconds faster than this split. I would also be willing to bet that Geb's 10K split would have been faster than Dathan's 10K PR; but I could be mistaken.
