Loads of chat about Mebs great win down in NYC. I was there in 82 too when the last American (Alberto Salazar) won. (Was also there in 80 and 81!) Will enjoy celebrating the 30 year anniversary of my first visit to the NY Marathon next year. Likewise enjoyed my 30 year anniversary at BAA this year! For all you stats guys, here you go...enjoy and keep on, keeping on!
