CAREER NOTES:
Edna Kiplagat was the last woman challenging Mary Keitany at the 2012 London Marathon and although she could not hang on, she was rewarded with a new personal record and joined the women's sub-2:20 club.
Kiplagat ran a sensational final 12 kilometers at the 2011 World Championships to win the gold medal. Despite a fall at one of the late water stops, she went on to win by 17 seconds.
In April Kiplagat made an almost five minute improvement on her personal best with a 2:20:46 finish at the 2011 London Marathon. It was the fastest third place time for any women's marathon in history.
In only her second world-class marathon the Eldoret, Kenya native broke away from debutants Mary Keitany and Shalane Flanagan on the rolling hills of Central Park to win the 2010 ING New York City Marathon.
She returned to New York City in March 2011 to run 69 minutes flat (second place) at the NYC Half-Marathon.
Added to her earlier win eight months earlier in Los Angeles it made her the first with marathon wins on both coasts. She won a $100,000 bonus in LA for being the first finisher to the tape as she was given an 18 minute 47 second head start over the men's field.
Kiplagat's first marathon was in December 2005 at Las Vegas when she was tenth in 2:50:20.
PERSONAL NOTES:
Kiplagat's husband Gilbert Koech is also a world-class marathoner with a PR of 2:13:45 which he ran at Las Vegas in January 2005. He also won the 2009 San Antonio Marathon.
While in the US they live in Boulder, Colorado. They have two sons, Collins Kiprop and Carlos Kipkorir, and daughter Wendy Jemutai, who have been staying with family members in Kenya.
