Yeah, I'd like to see him go for it like Torrence occasionally. Sure, he might blow up and look like a doofus, but with Torrence, you've got to respect the fact that he thought he could win, that he went for it. Bumbalough always seems a little too timid, and I'm worried it's what stands in the way of him actualizing his potential. I see that as the major difference between him and the other big guns - Derrick, Rupp, Solinsky, Teg, etc. Those guys all appear to think they're going to win every time (even though they frequently don't); Bumbalough never seems to think he can.


Somewhat agreed. He went for it at the Pre Classic last year, and ended up 2nd to last. He went with Rupp this winter in that 2-mile, and got dropped hard.

If he does some shorter races (1500/3000) leading up to the trials, he should try running riskier and going for it. Could help in Eugene...
