but first let me address this,
"Rono would have to be behind Victor to use his 'patented kick'at the end of the race. That might be a problem..."- Bruce
it wouldn't be a problem if he would cooperate at the beginning of the race. I would love to have a photo of me leading a national champion no matter how brief that lead lasted.
Back to flies, they seem to be out all times of the day but I have found morning runs better and unfortunately unshaded streets better. I simply don't run down here where I live in June or July unless I have to. When I do run here, I carry a hand towel and flog myself regularly. Hopefully, there is no video.

PS I also think that it would be great to have these top runners talking to our kids if we could.
