I still don't understand why all the guys without the standard didn't band together and go for it....I understand you can blow up but at what point do you realize that leading the race at halfway with that pace isn't working...I kept waiting for one of them to risk it all

It's hard running a 10k in that weather and humidity.

This guilt by association vibe on here is so high school. I am a Grant fan and I think he is clean.
very nice presentation of the evidence for why he's clean, aside from your credential-less subjective opinion.
hilarious.

Did you watch the race? The collegians along with Lara did attempt to keep the pace fast. The collegians looked tired from last week. but they knew they had to set a fast pace, it just wasn’t their time yet. But look out in three years.
Exactly. Not so much humidity though. That heat is NOT normal for Eugene in June...its more Sacramento style. Brutal 10K conditions...anything under 28 is spectacular.

Bottom line, racist comments can dress it up with all sort of rationalizations, but racism is racism.
I don't think it's necessarily racist, maybe xenophobic. The aspersion is that someone would have gone through meeting all the demanding and lengthy requirments for US citizenship just to run in the Olympics. It also assumes an inferiority for US born runners. Just a poisonous comment.

Those guys you are speaking poorly of tended to have gone to US colleges and wanted to stay. They chose to serve in the military to do so. They took advantage of an opportunity afforded to them as immigrants to earn citizenship, and they have done nothing wrong in doing so. This isn't like East Africans changing allegiance to Bahrain or Turkey where they were essentially paid to do so.
+1 precisely

That is what's so important to the Trials champ.
Damn, I predicted 1. Fisher 2. Klecker 3. Kincaid in the letsrun prediction contest. The right athletes but the completely wrong order.

It was not humid at all. The dew point was low to mid 50s which is perfect. The air temp was warm for a 10k though in the upper 70s.
Ah, I stand corrected. I thought that would be humid. But it definitely would be very warm for a distance race.

Def unusual for Eugene. But Sac is more like 90.

+3 Acting as if Americans have never competed for another country without being in the military. There was no need to put "transplanted Africans."

I was sitting on the back side in row 2. According to my watch, it was 79 during the race but it felt hotter than that to me. I did not notice humidity.

No, you don't. You're unbelievably naive.
For you racists against "transplant" americans, what's the native nationalities that you consider "true" american? Or what's the cut-off year to immigrate to the US? Since everyone had family immigrate here at some point (not counting native americans), when year do you consider the cut off to be a "true" american????

I was there.. it was good running weather, low humidity, a breeze and mid 70s. Certainly not “brutal”.

Sacramento 110 today. Do not like Sacramento
Geoffrey Kamworor just ran 27:02 at altitude. Don't complain about the weather.
SCR’s wig was great with her warmup and street ensembles...not so great with running outfit.
Lol I loved the sprint attitude. This chick might win it all!
Ha! I’m on board, I’m down with that shxt. Great!
