50th Cherry Blossom 10-mile this weekend w $50,000 bonus pool. Official discussion thread.

That's impressive.

I know the wind died down a bit but I've never seen it windier than yesterday around here.

Sara Hall wins the women's race:

David Monti is onsite and we will be publishing his recap soon.

Who won the 50k bonus? Will Bill Rodgers win his age group?

More lies from Rojo.

Hall did not ‘win the women’s race.’ She was the first American finisher and well behind the top finishers in ‘the race.’

She was well behind one runner, yeah. Sarah Chelangat of Uganda won in 52:04, 33 seconds ahead of Hall in 2nd.

It's certainly worth pointing out that neither Hillary Bor or Sara Hall won the races outright. Uganda's Sarah Chelangat won the women's race in 52:04 while Ethiopia's Tsegay Kidanu won the men's in 46:08, but neither of them broke 52 or 46 which had bonus money attached to it.

So I think Bor will win all of the $50,000 bonus pool.

And in the past, lots of poeple have said US prize purses are racist. Kind of funny. Yet another example of systemic racism in this country, I mean American privilege.

Did he though?

USA Track & Field | Rupp clocks U.S. 10-mile record in route to half marathon victory

Open link

Rupp hit 45:54 en route to his 60:23 Half in 2020.

Was that not ever ratified?

BR ran 1:36:30 for 5th place 75-79.

They should annihilate records from back then now with super shoes

I really hope one day one of these people sue the pants off of you for making statements like this. You’re a fairly well respected poster here. Shame on you.

Half of the internet would have to be sued.

Chael Sonnen and Greg Doucette taking down your heroes:

It was very windy for the race this morning. Many people ran 30-60 seconds slower than they hoped - Bor would have easily run 45 high in better conditions.

Check out the splits - the 2nd 5K (the part with the wind) was 4:30 pace (he averaged 4:38 overall)

And didn't Stanley Kebenei run 46 flat in 2019?

How did Bor win the $50,000 bonus at Cherry Blossom with a 46:11 if Rupp's American record is 45:53?

Didn’t Greg Meyer run 46:00 for 10 miles back in the day? Must be course record not AR that Bor beat?

That doesn’t make it ok. You’re just being part of the problem. Super weak, Alan. Really disappointed in you.
