The Ten on Saturday (3/5) - Official Discussion Thread. Will the ARs fall?

..now 4th/5th as Hoare drops out.

im still confused why professional runners have to race on a high school track

5 :20 at 2K. Still on A.R. pace. 64 sec. last lap which is what they need to avg. Now at 3K in 8 flat!

OUr boots on the ground just told us the rabbits were supposed to go between 2miles and 5k but they only made it 3k.

I still think Frerichs should have done it. She ran 14:48 at BU. No need for a 10k. IF you aren't going to fly an Ethiopian in, then have her do it.

Huddle lapped runners in her race too

Atkin, Woody, Mo & Grant Top 4 at 4K.

Also why couldn't stafford pace this? She is in better shape than Cranny, going through 5k would have been easy.

...approaching 5K, same order.

Looked like 13:23 at 5K. Atkin steps off. Down to Woody, Ahmed & teammate Grant.

is woody pacing?

This is going to be hard. They are falling off pace before 5k. Unless Kincaid sacrificies himself for the other -which is what I think he should do. They are going to be in trouble.

13:23 at halfway. Announcer was incorrect.

Woody looks horrible. It does look like he's just pacing. He needs to pick the pace up for a lap or two and drop.

Fisher looks like he's jogging. 64.5 is about as slow as they can take.

Anyone remember Fishers last lap last year?

Is Woody the sacrificial lamb? Or is he trying to win this thing from his 2 teammates? No one sharing the lead. Still on pace at 6K.

Imagine if Mo Farah and Rupp organized a time trial with track light technology and got paced through 5-6k and took a shot at 10k records together.... 26:30's?

I don't know for a fact, but it looks like he is

Woody has to be pacing at this point. Looks like hes hurting out there and nobody else seems keen to lead.

Fisher's last lap was 61.6 last year. Scott 61.2. If you run 64.5, you cough up 3 seconds so you are like 4-5 behind at the bell. You'd need a 60 flat.

Woody's hat and grimaces make me assume he's just pacing. Grant and Mo look so calm, there's a clear difference.

Mo really looks like he wants to take over for Woody. I think Mo and Grant are both gonna be fine.
