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

Congratulations. Looks like the combination of your new course and Paul finally achieving his destiny paid off. It is good for all of us that the Marathon Record keeps tumbling. As we get nearer to the magic two hours world interest will intensify. I hope you keep this record a little while but not too long!
