I doubt Salazar would have her race if she wasn't "fully fit." She's a professional now, with obligations, and I'm sure she has been working out very hard. She just hasn't raced in a while.
I say she PRs. Whether it's FTW or not depends on how much fire is in Price's belly.
Bigger question, will she break 4 this summer? I think yeah.

http://www.oregonlive.com/trackandfield/index.ssf/2014/05/athlete_student_star_mary_cain.html, then tell me if you think Cain is fully fit.
How many times has Cain ever "faded" in a race?
Now how many times has Cain had a kick in a race? Almost, every time...
Rojo was right, she's an 800m runner right now, and we know she will be a Agregawi/Obiri/Dibaba 1500m runner down the road, but she needs to work on her 800m especially for another 3 years, she has so much times, she's only 18
And lets not forget, last year when she ran 1:59, she split 61, 58 and went from last to 4th in the final stretch, so for you that think she will "fade" or positive splits this, I'm not sure where you're drawing your conclusions
And Cain, just ran 2:03 in what was supposed to be a 600m time trial last week when she was sick and she's recovered now so she's in good shape, and I bet you she can run between 1:58.7-159.3 FTW!

I'm sticking by my 59.5 + 61.5 = 2:01 prediction, but hey, I'm a Cain fan and I certainly hope you're right.
btw, for someone whose handle is "NOP skeptic", you seem a little short on skepticism when it comes to NOP athletes.
Cain new PR FTW
Drug Induce Price will run 1:59 while Natural Teen-Age Sensation cain runs 2:01 for outdoors and finish 3rd- Price will win and prance around like Marion Jones only to return all the money and awards for the race.

Mary Cain will run 1:58.27 and finish first. Then there will be a video of the race posted on the letsrun message board page that will endlessly play automatically whether you want it to or not.
I'm not a big fan of the unregistered boards and the ridiculous trolling and inane stupid posts that seem so common here .. but sh** like ^this^ post seems to make it all worthwhile, when random, anonymous handles just post some ridiculously funny commentary.
9/10

Ok - NOW do you agree that Cain isn't fully fit?
Um...ever hear of Jordan Hasay?
