Jacob Kiplimo gives world record a scare, wins Chicago in 2:02:43 as Conner Mantz (2:04:43) DESTROYS American record

Kiplimo and defending champ John Korir hit full send on this one and went for it. They ran the fist 5k in 13:58 (1:57:52 pace). They hit halfway on world record pace (60:16) and the next few miles were even faster than that pace. By 30k (1:25:31 – 2:00:16 pace), Kiplimo was all alone. He slowed a lot late however and had to settle for the #2 time in Chicago history.
