The Ten on Saturday (3/5) - Official Discussion Thread. Will the ARs fall?

They should split that race in two. Passing lots of people on the turn is bad for a record attempt.

Correct.

The Mt. SAC reference was from earlier reports that were not official.

Thompson was listed as a 1500m entrant but was removed a couple days ago.

Looks like he will only be rabbiting the WC Q race . . . but which group -- the 26:44 AR group or the 27:30 field --- we'll have to watch and see.

Sound Running/Tracklandia has made a point to note that 7 of last summer's 32 entrants in the Olympic 10k race are racing tonight. And that number does not include former Olympians Lopez Lomong and Evan Jager.

As noted above, this may be the highest quality men's 10k ever on a US track -- possibly only the Pre Classic 10k where Rupp ran his 26:44 was better. About the only significant American missing from tonight's race is Joe Klecker.

And, as noted above, tonight's fields are far more numerous than in the inaugural races last year. 2021 had 7 women finish the WC Q race plus 2 rabbits. 2021 had only 5 men finish the WC Q race plus 5 DNFs.

With the US 10k qualifier race now moved back to the end of May, best to race now with a full fall and winter training rather than waiting until the Payton Jordan in early May -- just 3 weeks before the US Q race.

Note. We merged two threads on the meet into 1 and made it the official discussion thread.

Also, if you go to the front page now, you can vote in our poll - Will the men's 10,000 AR fall tonight? Yes or no.

No poll for the women's American record? Give the women some respect!

Ditto. Give the women the respect they deserve.

also why the time change yet again??? Is weather still a concern?

I up-arrowed (or whatever it's called) your post because I'm 80% certain you're being ironic.

no option for full screen mode ? all i see is the web page and the content in a small window

you can see it full screen on Firefox if you right click the video -> "this frame" -> "show only this frame", probably similar with Chrome

also there is a full screen button on the bottom right, my bad that's easier. First race is off, 75s first lap

Just finished a long run near San Juan Capistrano, there was enough wind to be a minor nuisance but it'll likely go down a bit once the sun goes down.

Jack Rayner for a qualifier. The plan is to compete in the 10000 in one championship and marathon in the other.

thanks

it doesn't look too windy , trees are pretty still

No Allie Kieffer? She missed her flight? Typical. There’s always something with her.

Why do I have to create a user account for this 1-time viewing? It's call pay-per-view. I don't want to create a f***in user account on some stupid site. I have 100 user accounts just for daily living. Give me give me a payment prompt and unlock the video after you charge my card. I f***in hate the internet nowadays.

I meant to bring this up on the SC Friday 15 PODCAST. Did anyone realize that Robert Brandt ran 3:55 in the mile last weekend? That seems wild considering he's running the 10,000 this weekend. I think it was his first sub-4 but looked it up and he did run 3:38 last year.

You sound like an angry white man. You should storm the Capitol or something.

People want to know why our sport isn't popular? Because it's boring and most of the time you are watching practice. Even though I've paid for the meet, I'm currently surfing the internet with the meet muted as I'd rather hear nothing than have to watch the B heat of the women's 10k.
