Elle MF St. Pierre 8:20.87 AR & CR and Gold!!

Unrelated: But Rojo saying Chepkoech taking the race out fast (65) was dumb was a hare-brained take no? Muir and Meshesha became non-factors as a result of a sub-8;25 race and Chepkoech obviously handled a little early lactic fine knowing Tsegay would take the reins after a little bit. Seems like it was great strategy by Chepkoech in fact to create a gap and doubt in two of the speed-based 1500m runners. She wasn’t going to beat the top 2 in all likelihood and Hull has the advantage if it started in a 70 and was more of a windup.

And her tractor driving husband has a bowl cut.

Excellent race by St Piierre. Stayed with the leaders and timed her surge perfectly. A fast pace and there was no chance of her getting boxed in and she raced a very smart race. Congratulations!

If she took a year off for paternity, there's a more obvious explanation for her performance.

does anybody think her husband resembles dwight schrute's cousin mose?

Actually, Elle St. Pierre is the female version of Elle St. Pierre. Why the need to compare a great woman to any man?

ESP is the Queen of Mid Distance Runners Who Actually Race.

Yea the amazing part is not a tactical race. She took down the best ethiopian, and a Kenyan who set a national record in the race. Mull that over. I dont recall what her pre preg 3K PR was but wasnt it like 15 sec slower? More training videos!

Well, it's the definition of fishy. Knocking off east africans, setting double digit PRs only a year into training. But I dont think she is dirty at all. But lets be real, its the fishiest race we have seen since maybe the womens marathon times caving by minutes.

I watch track meets now wondering who will be the first to say the obvious. This was high on my list.
