Magda will edge out Desi, but Desi will be close to her 2:25, so Magda will either have to go 2:25 low or 2:24. I think Desi might have her by 2012, but not yet. White and McMahon will run together for a while, but White will finish first, around 2:28, with McMahon closer to 2:30. Both will be ahead of Moody.
Prediction. 3 men don't break 2:15 for the US on Sunday.
Prediction. You pull your head out of your butt 3 days after Christmas, but maybe 4.
Prediction. 10 runners stay with the same groups for the next 12 months. You try to join all ten groups and are denied, but they let you sniff their shoes, both before and after they run.
Prediction. Desi marries Lucy and Magda marries Lena, Horne that is.
Now THAT was funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Kit Lipton for the win.
Mo's system is now clear, he shows up at last min in chi-town, rocks a 2:09:33 to outkick carney and biz, lucks out on testing and finishes 8th overall, doesn't get tested. still makes less than he would have sweeping twin cities last weekend. is pissed off aftewardsw that he didn't time it right for twin cities.
oh, and brooke wells wins the "hottie" division.
James Carney is due for a big one; i say he goes 2:09.43
Liana Bernard. Girl from Medford, Oregon. Track her!
wow this thread quickly turned into "Name your friend running Chicago"
Arciniga is the only shot at a 2012 berth and the only sub 2:10 shot. I give him a 50% shot. Less if over 70 degrees.
nearly 70 degrees and 60-80% humidity. Not PR conditions..
I predict Wanjiru, Kebede and Merga laugh at your 70 degrees and 60-80% humidity. Kipruto and Lelisa merely smile.
Go Pat Rizzo!
Nailed it.
/Desi, Magda 1-2 for the women.
Three men under 2:15 and ten men going to new training groups in the next six months.
I got Hartmann FTW. The time is off probably due to some time space vortex.

Hartmann will be the first American....
I am sure of this. It is not possible that the outcome will be different.

Hartmann Great race pb and top American.
Let me see...wonder what in the world could have caused this result? Could it be that the pace was set too fast?? Could it be that the "pacesetter" didn't know how to pace? Could it be that some coach set the bar too high? Wonder who made that decision? and why?
