LS 1.50: Little mistake in my last message: El Mouaziz is of course out of the lead (group). It is Gebrselassie and Khannouchi, together with Tergat, who will decide the 2002 London marathon. The television commentators also seems to think Tergat is working hard. El Mouaziz is currently 4th, a surprising South African 5th, Pinto and Jifar 6/7th.
1.55: The three still together. Gebrselassie and Khannouchi next to eachtother, Tergat right behind them. What is the right tactic? One would say that an athlete does not want to take Gebrselassie into the last few 100 meters, but ... Although it has become a somewhat tactical race, the pace is still high. The winning time will be fast, very fast. With Khannouchi the fastest 1-2 ever, Gebrselassie the fastest debut and a pb for Tergat? 2.00: Khannouchi trying to get away, Tergat countering, Gebrselassie 10 meters behind! Regards, Wilmar
