Pittsburgh Marathon Results
One of the Ethiopian guys living up in the Bronx and racing for Westchester TC took today's Pittsburgh Marathon. I'm glad to see his name pop up on top of the list. He is one of the lads with whom I had the honor to join a training session some weeks ago.
Kassahun Kabiso trains between 100 and 125 miles per week depending on his race calendar, putting on most of those miles in Bronx' Van Cortlandt Park or the Rockefeller Preserve in Westchester County. Early last year he won the Vancouver Marathon. He finished second at the California International Marathon in December, with a PR of 2:14.59, losing by just one second to Jonathan Ndambuki from Kenya. He's a regular at NYC races and always placing well at the NYC marathon in November.
