OK, so i screwed up a bit with my Tadesse over Geb's WR in London - but we all did! This time I am not so far fetched. Bairu is transitioning to the track and brings much stength, stamina and decent speed and is looking to lower his 10K PB. I predict Bairu in 27:20 range, but in front of Rupp! Yep, you heard it here first!! |

but they are teammates wearing the same uniform so I predict that they will finish an amazing race holding hands like teammates do! |

27:08 for Ruppster. 27:31 for Bairu. |

Reverse those two times and you might be closer to the truth. |

I would love for Bairu to run 27:20, but he has not gotten that close to that mark yet. That is a pretty big step. |

27:20 for Simon would surprise me, but Jeff Schiebler's Canadian record of 27:36.01 could be in jeopardy. |

Actually, Rupp may run in Eugene, weather permitting. http://www.oregonlive.com/trackandfield/index.ssf/2010/04/oregon_track_field_will_galen.html |

If Rupp runs in Eugene, wow. Proves he is one of the biggest pussies of all time. |

by this do you mean Rupp is the running equivalent of Princess Leia ? |

Yeah, what a pussy. Wanting to run in front of his home crowd. |

Rupp in Eugene does sound terribly lame. Who would pace? Ritz? Rupp runs well with competition. Hope he doesn't start going all Alan Webb. Run with the big boys! |

| trotty moore |

Yeah, a pussy who would be ducking great competetion for a glorified time trial. |

What big boys were you referring to? Any sub 27:13 types? |

You are predicting an American Record for Rupp? Now? Really? Ok. Would be cool to see and it is the softest of American records, but I think that's a bit much from him just yet. |

Having a deep lineup for a race is not conducive for record times. After the rabbits drop off - the pace slows because no one wants to do all the work since everyone has similar ability. The fastest 10000m time in the western hemisphere was run @ Hayward. |

can someone please explain how hayward would be better? weather being a wash as it is hard to predict, who would rabbit and for how long? are the fans going to get in lane 3 and line the track to fire him up after said rabbit quits at 5k at the absolute most? just don't understand how this could be better than stanford |
