It was windy on the Carlsbad 5000 course today as Ethiopia’s Ali Abdosh (2) and defending champ Bekana Dab (1) made Kenya’s Eliud Kipchoge do all the work on the way down to the Tamarck Turn. They were probably hoping that it would tire him out. It didn’t.
Kipchoge was able to move out in front on the way back into town and by the time he made it to the turn onto Carlsbad Village Drive Kipchoge had the race well in hand. It wasn’t enough for a world road record, (Sammy Kipketer’s 13:00), but it was enough for the win and the confidence to know that the record is within reach.
