That's 4 sub 2:00 races in a row for Alysia Johnson, not too bad.

a fine run by Rupp. Weather was 13mph winds so not ideal. I see a 13:03-13:06 in his next big 5k. Chris Thompson had a great run

You can’t argue with all those PB’s in that race, Rupp, Farah and Thompson did great job!!! Better things to come from all of them in a few weeks for sure! Rupp looked really strong until about the last 300. He just didn’t quite have the closing speed needed to stay with the group and seemed to get a little bit boxed in but otherwise, he looked very relaxed and smooth most of the way!

I think you are mistaking him him for Chris Thompson who was running in a similar uniform to otc?

Chris Thompson was in an OTC kit. He trains in Eugene most the year.

Slattery fell on the first water jump, that is why he was 50m back

Bruce ran 8:22 in the steeple for 3rd

Why don't they just run it in the opposite direction?

Because then why the hell did I pay all that money for finish line seats?

Gateshead really does not have Finish Line Seats the grandstand ends about 12-14m before the common finishline.
