In the half-marathon Wondwossen Negash, a 1.09 man, ran with weighs strapped to his ankles ... using the race as a training run. He was joined by Warick Brenan, who had a 1990's best of 1.06, and they ran the race together.
Wondwossen took off the weighs at the 16 km mark and latter, with about 400 metres remaining, was still running shoulder to shoulder with Warick as they both started to accelerate.
