Trevor Dunbar 5k - Arcadia - 14:33.96

I've got to think that 14:33 - instead of sub 14 - is due to his training in Alaska...on an island..with sub zero conditions in winter.

Kodiak, AK is nicknamed the emerald island after ireland because it has similar weather conditions. It has a very mild temperature for its latitude. The average high for jan is 36 degrees and the low is 27 degrees. So it really isnt too hard to run there and places in the midwest have far worst winters.

Matt Lane only ran 9:18 for 2 miles in HS...how did he end up???

Dunbar v Comp he shows up...college he will be good, period.

He was injured indoors and is a bit behind in his training. I think he'll improve a ton. In an interview he said he plans to run the NON 2 mile. He's going to Portland for college, right?

He did race at the Boston Indoor games in February, and i thought i heard he ran a 3200 not to long ago in low 9's, when/how long was he injured?

Someone stole his spikes before the race. A kid gave him his after he ran the 3200 earlier..

i wont say that he would have ran better, but just getting your spikes stolen and having to wear someone else's could really impact a runner psychologically, right?

if it does, you have no business flying cross country to race.

I started training slowly for the track season, and I had a minor setback with wisdom teeth surgery, but other than that everything went well until I injured my achilles two weeks before BIG. It felt okay at BIG but then I tried returning too aggressively and I got setback for about three weeks. Now I feel healthy after working out through cross training very devotedly; and I’m back to running right now feeling not too out of shape, so I am happy despite the less than savory winter campaign.

What would Rexing do under similar conditions? I think that's the real test here.
