Sound Running Sunset Tour Los Angeles July 22

McDonald looked good finishing strong and had pretty modest goals. I had to laugh when the announcer said watch out for McDonald at the Canadian champs coming up, after this performance, in addition to Flanagan. (McDonald is Australian, FYI.)

Was running his own feeler time trial in no man’s land. Robinson nuking those two laps gave him the carrot to test latching back on.

couple runners has 13:10 low in them but they had re-run pacers and no one really desperate for a time.

This could be the race of the night IMO if Morgan goes under 14:55. She must have it in her somewhere after running 8:30 indoors.

15:02.07. She just missed sub 15. Great effort, solo after 3k.

Alright good meet. make sure to set your alarms for 8 hours later. Men’s 1500m starts at 9:14 am est.

Will Leer, providing color commentary, with several not-too-PC comments. "Add a feather to his hat." "Undo his shackles." Oh, boy...

Holt s just a big cry baby who can't control his emotions. Love the story about Engels. Such a likable guy.

Hobbs is in his 1st year after U19. He would have just finished his second year of college competition. The people who have actually met him ( and, you know, actually know him, coach him, etc.) have somehow helped him to 1:45.8 and 3:32.61. But he’s 20 years old now. Time for him to take the next step in his career and crowdsource his racing schedule to the wisdom of LRC posters.

No world standards. In fact, nobody was even remotely close. Was under the impression Ben was looking to run at worlds but I guess not…it’s a shame nobody actually went for it. Idk, as a fan it’s pretty boring to see guys talk big game about going for a standard…and then coming up over 10 seconds short (to be fair, they may be capable of it but would rather run slow and then show off their finishing speed).

Till the next yawn-fest!

Once upon a time she was the new "it girl" Among American 800 runners. I think she left texas&am a little to early. She will have to break 2:00 sooner than later

Yes

Flannigan was going for it, stated it before the race. If you didn’t catch the race, pacers were the tired tinmen from the steeple and 1500 doing Parsons a favour. not ideal for a tough target time. then Robinson slowed the lead pack and killed any thought anyone had of piggybacking eachother mentally. The whole group just loaded up for a finish, flannigan included, which also allowed McDonald back into the mix from waaaaay back. commentators specifically stated that flannigan’s plan B for making it to Worlds is to win Canadian champs next week and make sure there’s no run on his ranking position by staying in (and winning) WA meets like this.

I also found it weird that they didn't mention the restaurant empire founded by his father, Ronald, and his time as front man with The Doobie Brothers.

Well, he was already 25 while at Oregon, so not a lot of room for improvement.

That’s a terrible excuse! If you wanna go for it, actually go for it. Pacers too slow? Pass them! None of these guys are tough enough to actually front run anything. If you want guys to run a world standard, don’t get a bunch of dudes that are tired from already racing that night as pacers.

Second in 3:40 high. Does he have a real job? Is he still a YouTuber?

He’s such a try hard
