Spoiler ahead if you haven't watched:Mary Cain!Holy crap. She just OBLITERATED the women's field. The race itself was whacky (2:55 first half mile) but the last lap was 59 seconds, and she effortlessly opened up at least a 10m gap on the last lap. Crazy.
Didn't see it, but here's a nice write-up of the race on letsrun. Impressive, really impressive.

Fast is better than long
I really liked that iterview. You can see she still has the excitement and naivty of a child. But she knos what she's good at, has a coach she trusts and seems to really be focused on a long term career. Hey, I'm a kicker was precious and the way she said it. Then the faux train at the end
