In a race run in scorching heat that left one man dead, Kenya's Patrick Ivuti won the Chicago Marathon by a fraction of a second Sunday. At least 49 runners were taken to hospitals and another 250 were treated at the site. (Oct. 7)

The 2007 Chicago Marathon has arrived. Months of hard training and time away from home finally come to end. Sunday is the day the athlete toe the line. Music by Mute Math ("You Are Mine") and Chris Thile ("Heart in a Cage").

Christopher Cheboiboch has finished 2nd - twice - on the largest stage in marathoning. First in Boston 2002 and then again in New York 2002. He's a verteran of 26.2 miles with a renewed fire for competition. After his runner-up performances in New York and Boston, he used his earnings to open a primary school near his home in Iten, Kenya - the Salaba Academy. He also bought the gas station in Iten, which still works with hand pumps. Christopher is hoping for a fast race because he wants to set his personal best. If all goes well, perhaps he'll find himself back on the podium again.

After dominating the marathon distance for two years, Evans Rutto was forced to take time off from the sport, first for injury, and then with personal problems. He has tried to make a comeback several times, but for the first time in two years, it looks like he's actually going to make it. Most doubt he'll ever return to his 2003-2004 form, but for the athlete who still holds the record for debut marathon (2:05:50), even getting back to 90% will make him a contender. It's hard not to root for Evans to make it back to the big time.

The road racer of the year turned marathoner talks about his expectations for Chicago, his upbringing in Kenya, and how he feels on the starting line. Music is by Douglas Wakiihuri.

Show Notes: First, some housekeeping... - The chasingKIMBIA Video Blog was featured on Episode 40 of Podcast Salad. Our segment starts about 1/4 of the way through the episode. It's cool to be recognized by a non-running media outlet. Check it out. - The Week Two Photo Gallery can be viewed here. ...and now onto the show notes. - The introduction shows a video of the KIMbia Honour Roll, which lists all the athletes who have finished in the top 3 of a major marathon. If an athlete runs under 2:07, as Evans Rutto and Charles Kibiwott have done, he also gets his time posted on the board. The only anomaly on the board is Baba - for some reason the guy who paints the board added his win in "Las Vagas" and his 2nd place finish at the Rock & Roll Marathon. But now Baba has a legitimate showing on the board with his 2nd place finish in the 2006 ING NYC Marathon. - It was interesting to watch the guy paint the board. He came to the house one day with a co-worker and a plastic bag of tools. He must have spent 6 hours there. Godfrey told me, "This guy is a professional." He does a great job, but it was interesting to watch a "profressional" work without a ruler or a level. He used scotch tape to make his marks and his opposite arm to steady his painting hand. As you can see, there is a slight tilt to each line of text, but we like to think it adds some charm. Hopefully at the end of this year we'll have to buy a bigger board. - The opening scene, for those of you who weren't following chasingKIMBIA last year, is from mile 21 of the 2006 Chicago Marathon. Up until that point all the guys were running in the lead group. But between miles 20 and 21, the leaders made a move and the KIMbia guys couldn't respond. It was a pivotal moment in the race and you could see the disappointment on the guys' faces as they ran by - they knew there was no hope to win the race. - Ben Maiyo is extremely focused and professional in the way he approaches running. He realizes this is his job and he does it to provide a comfortable way of life for his wife and three kids. But he also does it for pride. He's finished 2nd twice - in Chicago 2005 and then Boston 2006. There's no doubt he wants to get his first win this year in Boston. - In Chicago 2005 he wasn't among the favorites. He had showed great potential, but would be squaring off against his teammates Evans Rutto and Timothy Cherigat, as well as several other talented athletes. But he surprised people with his 2nd place finish to Felix Limo. The following April in Boston, he was among the favorites. But in that race he "played crazy," as Dieter likes to say. The plan was to hang tight through halfway. But Ben had different plans - pushing the pace after 5K. From 5K to 30K he just kept pushing. He was ahead of course record pace the entire way, but faded over the last 12K. He impressed Dieter by not completely falling apart, as many runners do in Boston, and holding on to finish 2nd behind Robert Cheruiyot. Cheruiyot is back again this year and will probably enter the race as the favorite. - Ben is adamant that he won't make the same mistake (i.e., playing crazy) this year. - One segment that didn't make the final cut was Ben talking about the importance of having Baba as a training partner. The two of them train very well together and know when to push one another. Unlike Chicago last year, where the guys were constantly pushing in training, Ben and Baba will take a more conservative approach this year. - Ben speaks very good English, but is shy around outsiders. Initially, he comes off as being very quiet and reserved, but once he's comfortable in a situation, he's quite animated and outgoing. I guess that's true of most of the guys, but Ben really seemed to open up this time around.
