I have to say I’m disappointed I was right. All year I said they won’t run any faster and will only get slower because they lost their coach. Not I feel bad for jinxing them. I was hoping they’d run the same times and places. Not crater. Oh well, onwards and upwards. It might not be a bad idea for them to just skip track season and do easy training and get ready for college.
I don’t think “father figure” is the right word. Mentor is tho. Sure Sean Brosnan wrote the workouts for them, but he wasn’t there during every workout and every race. What I’m trying to say is that Sean and Tanya are two comeltly different people and even though you may have two identical coaching papers doesn’t mean that you will get the same results.
Today’s race plan was developed with Sean Brosnan, there is zero doubt about it.

What happened to the Young brothers should all on their coach! You have to be able to make adjustments on race day. After seeing the females being stood up in the headwind portions of the course, NP coach should have been telling them not to waste energy in the wind!! Splits don’t matter - places do. This is a coaching failure - like coaching 101. While NP ran people into the ground all season, that was not going to happen at NXN, and not in these conditions.
The media should be asking the coach if he accounted for the conditions today. EOS.

First things first. Let’s all be clear who the actual coach is/was for L&L. It was Sean Brosnan.
The race plan was arrogance. They thought they were flat out better than the rest of the field, so they just figure mid race they would drop the hammer and leave everyone. It was a serious miscalculation and disrespectful to the other top runners and they paid for it.

You are correct. But Sean Brosnan won't answer questions like that from the media because he technically isn't allowed to coach them.
First comment on TRP video on the race says Lex and Leo were bedridden with illness until yesterday…
No way that’s true. No matter how arrogant/confident the race plan was originally, if you are that sick there is no way you are front running like they did today.
Aaron Sahlman just ran one of the greatest races I've seen this season.Subscribe to Nathan Photograph - https://www.instagram.com/nathanm.photography/Subscri...
Stop making fun of Lex and Leo’s finish! I’m sure they are happy with the team win! And I’m sure they are happy that Cantu (who always shows up in their videos) scored for them!

Yes. Lex looked really bad at the end, and if he hadn't been able to finish then the team race would have been VERY close. Every runner matters.
