Subject: RE: Emiel Putteman and Dave Bedford Could Have Broken World 10,000m Record in 1972 Olympic Heats?
Body:

Beford's race in the 10,000 final made the greatest and most interesting 10,000 race of all time. Which is really hard to to for a 10,000 meter race. I can't imagine what people who saw that race live were thinking. 60 flat at the gun and kept hammering.

4:08 for the first mile in 1972 when the world record was about 4:26 pace. I wonder how many national records were set in that race, I would bet it was at least 10.

He wasn't going to medal and wouldn't win with anyone near him the last lap. Probably would have been smarter to but a move at 5k but who knows, it could have been 14:30 if he waited.
