Mother of God. Just over a second outside of Lagat's US AR.

I have a feeling Rupp is going to be an absolute monster this season.

They say golf is like life, but don't believe them. Golf is more complicated than that. "If I am still standing at the end of the race, hit me with a Board and knock me down, because that means I didn't run hard enough" If a lot of people gripped a knife and fork the way they do a golf club, they'd starve to death. "Don't fear moving slowly forward...fear standing still."

Isn't she the girl who isn't coming to race Mary Cain this weekend? Big grin

It's a 5k. It hurt like hell...then I tried to pick it up. The end.

In the GSP thread for whining about courses being short, I brought her 2012 Mt Sac race up - she (Sarah Baxter) was certainly not whining about course length in the post-race interview.

3:50? While I certainly couldn't run that now, it's not THAT great a marathon time.

Oh wait.

Upcoming races: 5/18 Watershed Preserve 12-hour, 6/2 North Olympic Discovery Marathon, 6/15 Bighorn 50, 7/27 White River 50, 8/24 Cascade Crest <gulp>

Somewhat scary to think that Rupp might now be the best US miler as well. That run is worth 3:33/3:34, and of course that's indoors and presumably not at any sort of super peak. Sounds crazy but it's not inconceivable that Rupp could run something like 3:31 outdoors later this year.

there is a very good reason indoor does not exist in Cali.

Rupp - results on one of flotrack's hideously slow pages

No, and it's all your fault - he just needed that extra push of competition you should have given him.

Currently free to watch though I'm unclear whether it will remain that way.
