It was brutally hot in Austin this weekend (94 degrees at the start of the 1500). Sitting in the stands was very uncomfortable much less trying to double in 2 distance events. It was just too much to take on 2 events in those conditions. In events other than the sprints, There were no successful same day doubles. Even Britton Wilson struggled mightily (2nd and then 7th) with her attempt to double. Ramsden (who won the 1500) struggled in the 5000. The conditions were not right for doubling. And congrats to Valby for a 15:30 5000 in very tough conditions.
Hassan triplles at championships but its too much for the greatest American talent ever to jog two slow races
