A. So did you

No they were losers wallowing in their own ex-D3 misery and then taking it all out on "an honest decent" person.
So did you? How is that? Just be a decent human. Is it that difficult?

Agree, she was putting in some serious work and had a consistent block. I expect she will exceed expectations (if she can handle the heat).
Siskel & Ebert wouldve given you two thumbs up. But both are dead so I-I-I-I will!!!👍👍
Thanks, those 2 thumbs make all my time on Letsrun worth it

She hasn’t had a bad race since going pro and looks like she had a good training block leading up to tomorrow based on Strava feed. Not sure she can reach the podium but given that there are going to be tough conditions and it will be a tactical race and not a TT , I wouldn’t rule it out
Look at the objectivity here! Well covered analysis, concentrates on the facts.
No one knew or expected she would be a medalist but Molly sure as hell came to race today and wasnt intimidated by "no Kenyans" [sic].
This is better than a holiday to some.

Not a lot of what she did prior today showed the ability to get the bronze medal. Great job Molly! To the Internet tough guys please get a life.
an honest decent prediction by someone obviously having no idea how her training is going, which she posts religiously on Strava. She's been completely locked in since the trials.
Pretty great performance. The US has had some very, very good results in hot weather marathons that become tactical. I'm thinking of Athens in 2004 where Meb and Deena medaled, Rupp in 2016 (Joanie in 1984 ran very fast in very hot conditions), Seidel today, and I think Cragg as well at World's , Steve Spence in Tokyo in 1991, and Mark Plaatjes in 1993 (that was in Stuttgart, so maybe it was not hot)--our men haven't won a medal at World's in the marathon since then, but the women have a silver from Marianne Dickerson in Helsinki in 1983 and bronze from Amy Cragg in 2017 in London. In the Olympics, after the U.S. men won 7 early medals through 1924, they didn't win another until Shorter in 1972 in Munich and then the silver in 1976 in Montreal, plus Meb in 2004 and Rupp in 2016.
It seems that hot weather marathons raise U.S. chances of medalling by slowing the race down, whereas they lower U.S. track runners' chances of medalling.

So you said you wouldn't rule it out like any of us could have posted. You guessed. If she had a bad race, oh well. If she has a good one, you're an elite guesser:):):)!

Knock, knock!
Oh who is there?
Brah!
Brah-who?
Brah-nze Medal For Molly Seidel
Go home retard #2
Use of the word retard detracts from your post and reflects poorly on you. Otherwise your post could have been good.

Who are you talking about?
I thought it was Molly Huddle until I saw the TV feed, its been that long since the Marathon OT, That Molly and Evan Jager are speaking at the Aim High Running camp instead of wearing the red white and blue this week.

I like Molly Seidel and think she's a great story but I honestly would not be surprised if she DNF'd tomorrow in Sapporo. She doesn't appear to have trained much in hot or humid weather.
I'm honestly thrilled for Molly that she not only didn't DNF but podiumed the biggest race of her life, and I feel bad for the trolls with poor reading comprehension who thought I predicted DNF rather than was worried she'd DNF. I do think she was more resilient than prepared for the humidity, and I'm impressed with (putting it lightly) how well she handled the situation.
