I was talking about the Sydney classic. Torrence's run was about 4 hours before this Birmingham race. Link:

A great early result for David; if you can run 3:35 in Feb, one would assume you can run 3:32 in June, but it never works out that way for him. I wish this is the year David puts it all together, but up to now he has only been hitting homeruns in the first ending with no one on base.

He did not get the A-standard.
He sat too far back as usual.
He will now continue to complain how little opportunity he gets to get the A-standard and won't make the Olympic team because he doesn't have the mark.
Case closed.

Great start of the season for him. I will be rooting for him to be making the Olympic Team. I have been a fan of his ever since he posted his video of running a sub 4 mile downhill to win a bet.
3:35.50 or bust

He runs best in the spring? What year are you thinking of? He has always struck me as a consistent over-achiever. Not much to criticize -- unless you think everyone should be a medalist.

He may have run 3:26, but that was years ago. Lagat understands he can no longer beat the best in the world at 1500m, as far as a gold medal goes. No shame in admitting that. Hence why he is focusing on 5k. 3:36 is a great time for a 5k guy indoors when the indoor record is 3:31.

How about the rare occasions when the indoor record is 3:29?
