I live in Minneapolis. What the hell are you talking about? Maybe Somalians, or Ethiopians. But still pretty Lily white. Maybe you're talking about the Swedish and Canadian finishers?
You might want to get out of your White suburb. Minneapolis is only 58% White now and falling fast. In 1950 it was over 99% White. Even in 1970 it was 95% White. It will be less than 50% White by 2030.
I live in South Minneapolis. Near Lake Nokomis. I think I've seen maybe four Kenyans in Minneapolis. I think you are referring to dark skinned people, not Kenyans. We all know what you're talking about
Jane hung with one of the top pros in the world for 5600m and broke the old course record. What exactly did you expect would happen? Doris was not going to lose today no matter what. And again, I cannot emphasize this enough, Jane was not going hard at regionals. Anyone who says she was didn’t actually see the race.
Jane split 9:22/3k at Pre-Nats then followed with a 9:20 to finish in 18:42, the CR until now. Last k was 3:03.
Today, she led the pack out in a sub-3 first k then split 9:14 thru 3k. Following ks were 3:06, 3:03, then 3:13.
Clearly that first k was way too fast. Paid for it on k #6.
