Late spring sports continue to peak, and a peak performance was delivered at the London Marathon. In race conditions, the first human being in the history of running marathons finished under 2 hours. A mark that was thought to be unobtainable has come to fruition. And of course, done by a Kenyan, the elite runners on the planet. 29-year-old Sebastian Sawe torched the British Course 30 seconds under 2 hours, at 1:59:30. To speak to the conditions, the second-place finisher, Yomif Kejelcha also finished under 2 hours. Only 11 seconds too late to be the first, so settle for second place. The pace is insane. Every mile for 26.2 is 4:34. A quarter mile in under 70s. Sawe will be remembered like the four-minute mile and Roger Banister, perfect 10 for Nadia Comăneci, sub 10s 100m, and other major milestones and is the Longhorndave Sportsman of the Week!
