Kenyan Wins Canceled New York City Marathon

Officials decided late Friday afternoon to cancel the New York City Marathon, but that didn’t slow down Kenyan distance runner Geoffrey Mughai.

The 29-year old easily glided to victory in 2 hours and 21 minutes, delighting spectators who watched from nearby canoes.

“I can’t believe the locals are complaining about wet conditions,” Mughai told OMGG.com. “I much prefer this to the drought affecting my country.”

Fellow Kenyan Isaiah Muncarp finished second, while American Olympic hero Michael Phelps shocked the world by swimming his way to the bronze.
