Congrats to Wesley Korir.
Wasn't Korir working as a janitor or maintenance staff and caught a ride to Chicago or some other marathon close to Louisville. Had enough cash for 2 subway subs, gave one to a homeless man and went off and got like 2nd or 3rd?
Either way congrats to him on a solid victory.
Respectfully, this is wrong. Wesley was an uninvited athlete to his 1st Chicago marathon. Had to start with citizens wave. Worked his way up to 4th overall. His chip time would have won that Chicago marathon, but results & money were based on GUN time.
