I'm not sure why Shalane and Cragg broke away so early. Not smart in the conditions. Both are pretty much guaranteed a spot why not ' sit and kick' in the last 2 miles? Desi is doing the smart thing.
Agree except I don't know if Cragg will hold it together.
What happened to Hadley?
no context of his max rate rate or other hr zones. if his max is 200 verses 155 means totally different things.
Rup has just thrown off his had befrore the 20 mile mark. It's on!!!
On the turnaround Rupp is looking back to see how much space he has on third.
NBC can stick their break up their ass
Rupp is certainly running relaxed. Meb is like, "Uh, Galen, you can take your turn here, I'm doing all the work dropping Pennel."
Luuuuuuuuke!
Only noted five times already.

Late to the thread... Not sure if anyone's mentioned that Rupp is bringing back the cut up singlet look, a la Salazar 1984.

"and his heart rate never went over 150 which is remarkable by any physiological standards.."
heart rate with no context is a meaningless number you dope.
What do you mean? He said at 4:50 pace on a 20 mile run.
Anyone else see that green stuff oozing out of the holes in Rupp's singlet? It's really freaking out the crowd down here...

No way meb makes the team.
No way he doesn't make the team.
We're watching history. This will go down as the best most exciting trial since 1984 or history.

It will not require any work to drop Tyler Pennel
Pennel will not finish in the top 20.
Two silver medallists leading. Cream rises to the top.
Anyone who runs marathon knows the real race starts at mile 20.
La ligo ...
Looks like Ward has caught Pennel (or Pennel dropped back with Ward).
Can we just pause and appreciate how great this is: two silver medalists, Rupp and Meb slugging it out for the Olympic Trials title?
Pennell and Ward are together at Mile 20. Both are 22 seconds back of leaders Meb and Rupp.

Did I hear that right? I thought I heard Craig Masback say that Salazar told him RUpp ran a 20 mile workout at 4:50 pace and his HR never went over 150. Is that what they said?>
I asked the media guy sitting next to me and he said, "If true, that's a redlag."
I just started laughin. 150 HR? That's not even threshold.
!!!
lol i read this and thought 150 hr... that's completely irrelevant!
