let's see, in high school i ran from the front and won almost every race for two years.
in the pac ten, i did not win until i stopped running from the front, took the pressure off myself and let someone else break the wind.
hmmm, so if it is about winning, then maybe it really is about doing what you need to do to win...
and no pat answers.
but then one would think this was logical.
the best runners in history could win any kind of race. because not on every day are you going to feel 100% or be 100%.
i like the way wheating runs now, because he is really very new to running, and he is making it more comfortable and fun for himself. he knows what to do at each stage of the race, for him, now, and as he gains more experience and fitness, he can play with different kinds of races.
he's a rare breed, 4 years of running or whatever, and already at 1:45.
damned good for a norte americano.
and according to the OP and junior high school level thinking here, dave wottle was a pussy in the olymics.
well, there's at least one russian who thinks that.
