No...no he did not try. That is why he got 1st by 10 seconds and not 0th place. I heard that guy won by over a minute. Damn Rupp, his antics cost him the race.

Why spend your whole life hating people? There are so many people out there to dislike, do you have any spare time at all?
I am nobody...but I agree..I hate when they do these kinds of things.....
Do what kinds of things? You have no idea what he's doing in that photo.
Hey was just checking how many laps he had to go.
When your that good, it never really looks like your trying.

ah, I didn't say I hated him, I said I hated actions like the one he's doing. Two very different things. And I'm missing the relevance of me having any spare time? What does that have to do with anything? And honestly, he's flashing the peace sign in the middle of a national qualifying race, do I need to know what else is going on in the photo? We get it, he's head and shoulders above the rest of the competition in the region. Does he need to flaunt it?
Looks like he is confirming laps left.
It also looks like he is working a bit. He won the race by 10 sec. Are there really guys that want him to 'look' a certain way? Unreal.

Exactly. It looks like he's confirming laps, but you really can't tell much from a picture.
If that's what he was doing then I have to question his competitive intensity and focus. It means he doesn't have the mental makeup to be completely 'in the game' with a sufficient focus to win when it really counts.
Good call, I didn't notice that. That kid was going crazy back there. Also, who is the guy and his mom that walk by the camera 4 different times. It looks like his number was 45x.
I think that I have to question your intelligence from that idiotic post. You have to be the second biggest letsrun idiot of all time. Right behind that Midwesta guy who thought that Rupp was flashing a peace sign.
He will never win a major race wrote:

has to really pee
actually has a nervous twitch
took too much speed

You stand up for Geoffrey, yet you find such an obscure reason to dislike Rupp? Interesting...
It's okay with me due to the source of the commentary. Piss off if you don't have the mental wattage to actually refute the claim, little one.
he did not tried it looks like he went for a easy tempo.
it's not just this. It's flashing the O sign at the end of 10k at US nationals, it's doing all that stuff during the 10k at stanford when he was supposedly tempoing with Goucher. No, I'm not a fan of those types of things.
If you were a bad ass you could do the same thing, but don't worry you aren't!!!!
