So in my ignorance, I asked someone who came in second after #Eluidkipchoge 🙈🙈🙈. Anyway after blank stares, horrified looks and lots of laughter (ndasekwa heyi). I googled to save my dignity. Very interesting..Apparently Ineos, owned by Jim Ratcliffe, spent £15m on the event
#eliudkipchoge ran a consistent pace set for 1hour 59 minutes set an electric timing car and pacemakers of on avg 2:50min/KM throughout the race.
#eliudkipchoge was supported by 41 pacemakers who will ran 4.8 kilometre stints in V shape around him & stewards equipped with brooms to sweep away any falling leaves. There were meteorologists who narrowed down the 8.15am start time.
A blistering 1.59.40! Congratulations @EliudKipchoge for the historic achievement in shattering the sub-two-hour barrier for the marathon; you are arguably the greatest runner of all time. #NoHumanIsLimited #INEOS159 
Your supreme tempo, fatigue-resistance, endurance, compulsion, mental strength, resolve, and tenacity are a manifestation there are no limits when you believe in yourself; undoubtedly the landmark triumph cements Kenya’s position in the globe as an athletics powerhouse. #INEOS159
Supported and cheered @EliudKipchoge in the historical INEOS 1:59 challenge, Vienna, Austria. #INEOS159 #NoHumanIsLimited
