It might be one of these new devices used to measure different running metrics. I have a Hr monitor that sits on the forearm and uses the optical sensors. They also have some that apparently can roughly do lactic levels and some of that other fancy bloodwork through optics. I'd be willing to bet that was what he wore to collect data. From there they could probably do a lot with predicting his full marathon fitness and help steer his last few weeks.
Just a hunch. with the wealth of data I am sure they have on Galen they could look at a 1:02 half and based on blood levels predict pretty closely how another 13.1 would have panned out for him on the day based on his fitness.
The Portland XC team seems to be wearing the same band that Rupp has been seen wearing.
Does anyone know what the band is / does? Just an accurate HR monitor?
The workout week videos Flotrack had last week or Portland, the whole team has them on.
It's to stop him from drowning in the EPO he sweets out and keeps him afloat.
