Very shocked. Especially Geb. Tergat I can see because he has some darn good
road creditials. Geb on the other hand has been all track now for quite some
time. Tergat with his cross and half-marathon creditials I see as being the
next marathon world record holder, probably in his 2nd or 3rd attempt. After
Geb gets in 2-3 marathons I see him right there with Tergat hanging on his
shoulder till about 200m to go, then he realizes that after 26.2 miles he
doesn't have quite the leg speed he had at the end of 10ks so Tergat turns
and looks, sticks his tongue out and sprints ahead to victory. Just Desserts
