Boston Marathon 2009 is over. More than 26,000 runners (from all 50 states and 60 countries) was participated, cross the start line and pass boston marathon route.
Deriba Merga come to be the first winner for Man's Race. In WOmen's race, Salina Kosgei break the finish line in 2 hours 32 minutes and 16 second and to be first winner.
Here Merga (Ethiopia) overcame the disappointment of his Olympic fade. Merga, who was passed in the last quarter-mile and finished fourth in Beijing, pulled away before Heartbreak Hill and won in 2 hours, 8 minutes, 42 seconds — almost a full minute ahead of Kenya’s Daniel Rono and American Ryan Hall.
In Women's Race, Kosgei won a sprint with defending champion Dire Tune, trading the lead several times in the final blocks of Boylston Street before hitting the tape less than a stride ahead of the Ethiopian in 2:32:16. The third winner is American Kara Goucher.
The winners will take home $150,000, but Merga had to wait for his traditional laurel wreath: The women’s pace was so slow and the men finished so fast that he crossed the finish line before Kosgei had a chance to climb the champion’s podium.
Kosgei said the weather conditions made for a difficult finish.
“The wind was a bit stronger. ... So, it was very hard,” Kosgei said. “I decided I must try. So, I tried.”
