"Peaking too early" is part of American-Born Distance Runner Syndrome. (Along with chronic DNSing and DNFing.)

Amazingly, most of the world's elite (Bolt, Blake, Rudisha, Koech, Bekele in his time) manage to post fast times from May to August year after year.

Oh yeah? Then how come Kipketer didn't medal in '96? Think before you post....

The fact that he wasn't even at the '96 Games hampered his medal chances.

1:41.08

I say 1:41.45

Not quite ready for another WR

Sure, sure. Excuses, excuses.

Next you'll be telling me that the reason that Rupp did not win the 1976 OG 10000 is because he was not born yet when we all know it was because he was not mentally tough enough.

I am so sick of these American excuses!

1:40.92

If the time is under 1:41.25, I will go along with the one beer for every .01 that I am off.

If over 1:41.25, I will drink one double shot (~3 oz.) of beer for every .01 that I am off. Naturally, the shots will be consumed power-hour style (one double shot per minute).

No duh. That's because he peaked too early. He should of been a lock for the Olympic team, but he blew it.

1:40.92. Count me in!

I am sorry for you man. The weather in annonced rainny for the meeting. And we all know that Rudisha does not like rain and cold.

I guess that you will have to drink more than 100 beers in your night. Be prepared!

Should have

You Moron! Get it through your thick skull.

MORON!

1:39.84. Never again to be touched by another mortal besides himself!

I dont get it. What's youre point. He was the reining world champ and record holder. He blew it by not making the team.

He wasn't eligible because he had just changed to Danish citizenship. Learn some history, dogg.

'96? "think before you post" indeed.

How come Kipketer didn't medal in 96 has nothing to do with peaking.

your a rather ejaculatory fellow...

whatever you say.... the fact is he could never bring it home in a championship event. Probly couldnt handle rounds and I bet peaking played a roll in that.
