No one could muster a response and Mutai won in 2:08:24 becoming the 6th runner to successfully defend the title. \u201cFor me to defend my title, I think it has very many meanings,\u201d said Mutai.<\/p>\n<p>Mutai finished almost a whole minute ahead of second placed London marathon winner Tsegay Kebede of Ethiopia. World and Olympic champion, Stephen Kiprotich of Uganda from whom much was expected, finished a distant 12th.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Jeptoo makes an improbable comeback<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/kenyapage.net\/athletics\/images\/priscah-ny-2013.jpg\" width=\"385\" height=\"328\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Priscah Jeptoo who recently dusted both Tirunesh Dibaba and Meseret Defar in the BUPA half marathon, showed another Ethiopian (Buzunesh Deba)\u00a0 a clean pair of heels to win in 2:25.<\/p>\n<p>In the process, Jeptoo became $625,000 richer including the $500,000 she gained for winning the world majors.<\/p>\n<p>Buzenesh Deba and Tigist Tufa of Ethiopia had set a searing pace covering the first 10km in 34:44. At the halfway point of the race, a cyclist told Jeptoo that the two Ethiopians were more than three minutes ahead.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe came and told me that you are behind three minutes. I realized that three minutes is almost one kilometer, so I started to push the pace,\u201d she said. \u201cI knew, and I was having confidence that I will make it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jeptoo had to work extra hard to reel in the leading Ethiopian duo kilometre by kilometre. By the 35-kilometer checkpoint, Deba\u2019s lead over Jeptoo had dwindled from 3 minutes 23 seconds to 45 seconds.<\/p>\n<p>With 4km left, Jeptoo caught Deba and Tufa. The latter tried to respond but did not have an answer for Jeptoo&#8217;s kick. It is amazing that Jeptoo is a such a strong runner considering her awkward running style. But she galloped away from the competition to win in 2:25:07.<\/p>\n<div class=\"fb-like\" data-href=\"https:\/\/kenyapage.net\/commentary\/athletics\/kenya-sweeps-new-york-city-marathon\/\"
