Boston: Mottram Apparently Jogged It In
Craig Mottram takes down The Emperor’s US-soil record in Boston with a 7:34.50 and, as is becoming typical of him, leaves us with a colorful quote:
Mottram said he did not know it was Gebrselassie’s record he beat until after the race. He said, “Had I known it was Haile’s (record), I would have tried a little bit harder.”
Tried a little bit harder? Who does Mottram think he is? Only Nick Willis is allowed to leave fans speculating over how much faster he could have gone in a given race.
