You are reporting the following post to the moderators for review and possible removal from the forum Poster: learning from history Subject: RE: Men's 1500 Final Strategies and Wishes Body:
False, first guy takes 300m Gives time for most of the other 5 to get in position Next guy takes next 200m First lap needs to be covered in 57 sec for the single file effect to take place. By 400m all guys can be in place. Next guy takes 200m Next 2 take 150m (second lap in 57.x) And last guy takes 100m You have surely done that in training before I have several times We actually use to do it with 50m stints in the front...[/quote] Yes, I have done something similar in training but obviously the pressure cooker of an Oly trails final is a different environment. For one thing, in training there are not 6 faster and more experienced guys hanging around that will do everything possible to be in the top 3. And while your idea of an alliance is interesting, I can't see 4-5 guys with the discipline to pull it off in this situation. For some of these guys this will be the biggest race of their life. All it takes is for one guy to jump the gun or not play their part and the strategy falls apart. I agree that the most likely scenario is for a slow pace with an all our sprint in the end, or one guy breaking away early. It also turns out that the faster guys - Andrews, Wheating, Centro, Manzano, are known for relying on their kick. I can see Torrence trying to make a strong move with 300-400 to go and hoping only 1 or 2 guys can keep pace. Hit the submit button below if you want us to review the post.
