The turns done on this race having to slow down the speed then having to accelerate again was just plain horrible in this race. Also, a race of this magnitude can not be at 11 am with the heat. Completing this course in 2 hrs 8 was unbelievable. Congrats to this athlete and his country for a gold medal.

To help give some more perspective to this: 1) this is an average speed of 12.25 miles/hour (19.7 km/hour) 2) The average human long distance running speed is 5-8 miles/hour (8-13 kM/hour) 3) the average human sprinting speed is 12-18 miles/hour (19-29 km/hour) 4) A fast walking pace is about 3 miles/hour (5 km/hour)
