Lilya Shobukhova winning 2010 Bank of America Chicago Marathon, by PhotoRun.net.
Shobukhova became the 10th fastest marathon runners of all time. All nine runners ahead of her have broken 2:20. It was also the 15th fastest performance.
Her time, 2:20:25, is the fastest time since Mikitenko’s 2:19:19 in 2009 Berlin marathon
The average of her top 3 time since 2008 is 2:22:16,
second only to the top 3 average (since 2008) of Mikitenko, which is
2:21:55.

Sammy Wanjiru wins 2010 Bank of America Chicago Marathon, by PhotoRun.net
Wanjiru’s winning time was 2:06:24, faster than 2:06:32 he ran in warm Beijing Olympic Games.
Thus Wanjiru’s 2:06:24 and Shobukhova’s 2:20:25, are probably the fastest time ever recorded in the race ran mostly in temperature over 20C. For the next time, I will compile the all time list with temperature above 20C.
