More correctly, HAD the raw speed. Guessing he'll never go sub-13:30 again in a 5K (if he even tries).

Too many haters on this board. I say Goucher runs sub 2:12 and makes it on the Olympic team. He's got the talent and raw speed (13:10 5K).
I don't really want adam to make the 2012 team in the marathon because I want 3 guys who can medal on any given day.
Or, at least have a shot at it.
Can you imagine what that scene between Kara and Adam would look like on the day of the trials if he managed to qualify for them? Both warming up worrying about Colt. Both into themselves as they try to make the team. Adam trying to make the mens marathon team reduces Kara's chances b/c she will have two children to worry about.

Nomination for most ridiculous post of the year.
Adam Goucher has been finished for years, he will be lucky to even hit a trials qualifier, let alone make the olympic team.
Are you guys and gals that dumb? Adam Goucher's 1/2 marathon pr is what? I know, do you? Yes, I also know how many times he has run the distance.
How is he going to run a top 3 Olympic Trials performance in less than a year against what America has to offer? The question is, where does this rubbish talk come from?
Kara will have a tough time making the team and now you've got Adam possibly making it as well.
Only on LetsRun.com could statements like that me made.
his half marathon pr is 63:17 on a very slightly downhill course at the great north half marathon.
about 2 years ago he ran 65:43 in san jose.
Looks like he is giving it one more go.
The only redeeming quality of this thread is that they correctly identify the streets as being made of concrete (instead of cement). Cement is always an admixture into concrete. I have to correct everyone that calls it a cement truck or a cement wall (or sidewalk if it were).

Careful. redux is a mod. He controls this board with an iron fist. Many have stood up to him, and many have fallen. He'll ban you with one tap on his keyboard. It's best to just let him do his thing - no questions asked.
Yes he's done has been for awhile.
But didn't he do the Elliptigo race a few months back?
That's the real reason I bumped the thread.
No one is ever done. That is unless Chuck Norris roundhouse kicks them in the face.

Hey, yeah, I want to know whatever happened there. Did that race ever happen? Link? Results?
I thought this was real for a second.
