Wow, anyone in heat 2 of the 1500 got screwed over. All warmed up and ready to go and now pouring rain and a lightning delay.
I thought this at first but running 339.9 isn't what anyone up front in heat 2 wants anyways. So maybe they can hope they run faster due to weather changing.
So far the only explanation is the weather slowing down times? WHere's John Kellogg when I need him?
Rojo, I get that people come here to run fast, but that was an exciting race. There were a ton of people in it on the back stretch, Leo closed like a boss, Wheating closed very well and it was a great battle royale for third. I know 3:38 isn't going to turn many heads but I was excited watching that.

What is HOKA11 thinking with these new uniforms???
Gladiators In Track Suits. (Or Mexican wrestlers?)
I actually think they are cool, forward looking design.
That third lap was pretty weak.

I don't know why all you a-holes don't like Leo. He's a dude.
Agreed - Leo is one of the most disciplined runners when it comes to his training. He's a great ambassador for our sport showing the fruits of hard work.
rojo in all fairness Wheating is not the guy to be pushing the pace, he's just trying to be competitive right now.
Tough night for Rowbury, but getting tripped and falling in a race is hardly like laying an egg. Just bad luck
Grunewald fouls another victim by pushing and cutting off Sifuentes in heat 2.
Everybody including Manzano is saying Hoka 1 1. I thought wejo had a thread that it was Hoka oh-nay oh-nay? New info?

Don't you have some hocus pocus theory that the atmosphere after a storm is conducive to fast times? Merber @ Swarthmore?
Maybe Robby will rip one from heat 2.
Is Sam Chelanga a scratch? He was on the heat sheets in the preview and now he isn't listed in the lasted meet entries. Anyone know?
what are the chances that the meet resumes? it's raining pretty steadily in LA. will it continue if the threat of lightning subsides?

There were a bunch of scratches from the initial entries. Pretty sure Chelanga is a scratch.

one one or onay onay, its a mouthful and I doubt it will stick. I like "Hoka" though, its simple (like Nike).

Sage Canaday also says 1 1 and he's a Hoka guy. I thought it was supposed to be pronounced oh-nay oh-nay but I guess not.

Are you taking bets?
Rain delay if you are wondering what is happening.
If you're bored listen to our Diamond League Preview radioshow/podcast from earlier tonight:

hoka officially changed the pronunciation to "one one" a while ago
I forgot how soothing the sound of rain is!
while we're waiting someone do a ventolin conversion for what Wheating could have run with even pacing
Rojo, slow down your horses! Weather is no good, the race was exciting to watch!
