Allan Steinfeld, New York City Marathon
Dear Horst
Absolutely fantastic. Congratulations, congratulations, congratulations to
you and your organization. Sub 2:05 unbelievable. You, Mark, your whole family
and Paul Tergat and his wife must be floating on the air. It is wonderful to
see that Paul, after all his great second place times, finally won and not only
with a W.R. but the first sub 2:05 time. People will run faster. but his
breakthrough will stand forever. Please convey my congratulations to Paul on
behalf of myself and our entire organization.
Most people don remember, but I do since I was there at the finish line,
that Andres Espinosa won the New York City Marathon in 1993 in a time of
2:10:04. And now he shatters the masters record in a time faster than when he
won New York.. Please pass along my congratulations to Andres.
Take care and get a well deserved rest.
Best regards
Allan
