Tuhia he haere tonu mo tenei waahanga - I te timatanga o te tau 2011, i hinga a Deba i mua i te whakataetae Mare Dibaba ki te wikitoria i te Los Angeles Marathon. I riro i a ia te wikitoria tuarua i te Newport 10000 kātahi ka whakahoutia taua mahi i te Healthy Kidney 10K i New York. I tiimata ia i te San Diego Marathon me te tere tere ka tae ki te haurua o te tohu i roto i te 1:09:53 haora. Ko tana haurua tuarua kaore i tere engari i wikitoria ia i te whakataetae i roto i te wa hou o te tangata mo te 2:23:31 haora <unk> he wa ano i patu i te rekoata a Joan Benoit mo te marathon tere rawa atu i California, i whakaturia i te 1984 Olympic marathon
