          上午寒雨的天氣
           超過46,000人
   參加了台北富邦 42.2公里馬拉松。
 

Josphat Kamzee Jepkopol successfully defended his title
by completing the run in 2 hours, 14 minutes, 10 seconds,
a time 4 minutes shy of the event’s all-time record of
2 hours, 10 minutes, 24 seconds, but a one-minute improvement
over Jepkopol’s own record last year of 2 hours, 15 minutes, 27 seconds.

 

       肯亞選手 Jepkopol
   以2小時14分10秒衛冕成功
   這項記錄是2小時10分鐘 24秒

 然而 Jepkopol 有打破自己的紀錄
    去年為2小時15分鐘 27秒。
 

The fastest woman was Rebecca Kangogo Chesire, who finished the race in
2 hours, 33 minutes, 20 seconds, but failed to break the women’s all-time
record of 2 hours, 23 minutes, 37 seconds.

     最快的女人 肯亞選手 Chesire
      2小時33分鐘 20秒完成比賽，

   但未能打破2小時23分37秒女子紀錄。

 

Both runners were awarded a NT$1.2 million (US$40,500) prize for first place,
but no winners received the NT$2 million bonus promised to anyone
who broke an all-time record.

 這兩個選手各獲得了新台幣120萬元（ 40,500美元）的獎金

    但沒有贏得打破紀錄新台幣200萬元的獎金。
 

Jepkopol said he lost the bonus prize because the cold, damp weather slowed him down.

因為寒冷，潮濕的天氣 使他失去了打破紀錄的獎金.

 

Taiwan’s top male runner was Ho Chin-ping — the fastest Taiwanese man

the first Taiwanese woman to cross the finish line
