If it was so bad, how did Kennedy run 13:30, all alone.

There was more to Williams' condition than just the heat.

Who cares? Distance races are boring as f, because they jog the whole way, then sprint the last lap.

And the heat is great for the sprints! It will be good for everybody then.

It was 1997, man. EPO heyday.

Maybe, just maybe, getting athletes who can actually run well in the heat will not be a bad thing going to Beijing in August...

Effect can be a verb.

Effect can be a verb.

And affect can be a noun.

You are aware that 13:30 is over 30 sec slower than his PR? And that Williams was on his heels past 3K? Bob was well-acclimatized, Todd wasn't.
