Bekele wouldn't have been so cavalier. It would have been a different race all together.

I managed to hold off from seeing results until I could watch the race on the DVR at home. Great race. Not sure what Bekele was doing, maybe he wasn't feeling well. When the field bunched up in the last 800, I was thinking Teg should just go for it and take the lead to maintain pace. I'm not sure what the split was at the bell, but I was thinking if he could run 53 he still might've gotten the record. Nevertheless, a great PR. Great job Teg.

Poor Teg. It was almost sixty degrees--such a shame his arms were so cold. I hope someone got him a nice warm blankie and a bottle at the finish.

What is that supposed to mean?

Will Teg run the 10k now?

Arm warmers? I'd wear a pink tutu if it helped me break 13.

Thank you for someone having some common sense; if Tegs arms tighten up from the cold and it helped him 1.5 seconds than more power to him!!! I love you quote.

For the critics, get a life!!!!!!!!!!
