There's something about the London course today that made for very good running.

Three athletes broke the men's world record. One athlete broke the women's world record, and three were in the all time top 5. An Irish record was also broken, likely other countries too that I'm not familiar with.

Not to take anything away from the achievements. Incredible running.

> One athlete broke the women's world record

Not so. She broke a record for a female-only-pacer marathon time. The women's world record was much, much faster.

It was good weather for London. Clear skies and cool.
