Edging out Buster Martin at the London marathon this past weekend was American Ryan Hall, running 2:06:17 to take 5th place. I might be able to ride my bike that fast, if there weren't any hills on the course. For those keeping score at home, that's a 4:49 per mile average over 26.2 miles. Check out this guy's splits:
10K, 29:11
20K, 58:58
1/2, 1:02:13
30K, 1:28:38
40K, 1:59:23
finish, 2:06:17
Damn, could we actually have a US contender at the Olympic marathon this year?

Hall's the kid who was the first American to break the hour barrier in the half... in sticky rainy humid Houston.
