Nur looked great. Young definitely ran better last week, he and Bosley can clearly handle the altitude well, but I think if anything this race and Grijalva’s solidifies the altitude conversions in my mind. Young and Bosley ran a bit slower, but they also lost to people they normally wouldn’t. Nur and Grijalva ran much better than their converted performances.
Similar situation with Christian Soratos years ago. No one believed the conversion, and it was definitely legit.
Wait, Didn't his Flag mile convert down to 3:54.0's, where as he just ran 3:56.0? Two seconds is a lot in a mile. Definitely not trashing Nico's run, just pointing out that the conversion was 2 seconds fast. And someone already mentioned Osterstock's 4:01 run, as compared to his conversion from Flag.
