Blanks is the one who has to take it earlier there. Just got outkicked by Nico and Grant on Thursday and just oodles of kickers in that race, including the gold medalist in the 1500. Graham can’t let that be a 13:25 race. Just overestimating his chances in that kind of race.
I think he ran for the win in the 10k, and as a strength guy, the slow race + sub-4 last mile probably took some of the pop out of his legs more than Fisher or Young. He may have been able to drop a faster last mile today, but I don't feel too bad for him. He made the 10k team, and it's a lot to ask the 3rd place guy there, running on tired legs, to try to drop a sub-4 last mile in a 13:2x race.
