Alumni racing: Vess in Germany

Marist Running Alum Adam Vess cruised through his first marathon on Sunday in Berlin, running a 3:14:44. I don’t know all the details, but I think he was just filling a spot on a team (he hadn’t been specifically marathon training) and he got a nice trip to Berlin out of it. The race up front was epic, with Ethiopia’s Kenenesa Bekele running the second fastest time in history (2:03:03) for the win over former world best holder Wilson Kipsang, who was 10 seconds behind (2:03:13) in second place. Pretty cool.
