Black page for Emily MF Sisson? That was incredible.

I think she runs a little bit like Purrier-grace and power.

Sisson ran her second 5k in 15:14.

That’s 13 seconds faster than Cranny’s 15:27 winning time in the 5k.

Most badass race I've ever seen. Led 20+ laps in 85 degree heat and DROPPED everyone. Insane.

MF and badass are so cliche now. Surprised you didn’t throw a “bro” in there.

Right?

Rojo merged another (earlier) thread into his own (later) thread, but because OP had an earlier timestamp in his own thread, it displays first.

TLDR; rojo was mad he got scooped and took over someone's thread.

Why would Rojo do this?

anyone know what shoes she was wearing? didn't look like the md-x? unless there's a new black colorway.

Is there an LD-X?

So there aren’t a million threads about the same topic? Who cares.

The heat took out most of the field. Sara Hall will have a good 'Thon in the fall with the speed work. DNF for Gwen.

No one calls a marathon a 'Thon but you.

When I hear 'Thon I immediately think of a terrific charity event that we do annually at PSU to raise money for child cancer research.

Amazing run. Had the look of a career run. She will get swamped by Africans in Tokyo.

Its like 80 degrees in Eugene. Sisson trains in Pheonix where it is much much hotter. Also grew up near Saint Louis where the summers are often 90-100 degrees with so much humidity you can practically drink the air.

This - 80 degrees and 50 percent humidity is considered a break from the heat in St. Louis.

As someone from the area, this can't be underestimated. It's not like it's easy but you know your body can operate in those temps. I'm not much into watching women's competition so this was the first time I've seen her race. I was amazed that she looked so powerful the whole race. I guess that's just her running style (not as relaxed looking as some), but it looked like 3 km. mechanics.

How Dare You.

The argument that “white people have been in the Americas so long that now they are as native as the Native people they murdered and stole from” is the most disgusting thing I have read on letsrun for a long time, and that is saying something.

How Dare You.

you didnt change the fact that the sioux are not native to the dakotas. nor are horses native to the continent. i dare just fine. bogus native. many of the "native" people moved around. therefore they arent native. that goes for a ton of the so called native cultures. the sioux clearly displaced . and of course the comanches did as well. if they can count as native after displacing its really a no brainer. suck it.

+1 and these woke people are so easily offended even when you tell them facts

I agree, controlled, smooth ferocity.

It was an amazing performance. I'm dismayed that people here are already accusing her of doping. I hope, and don't think, that is true, but I'll say this: even if she was, running like that under those conditions is still amazing. Gutsy performance!

No one is doping out there. Not even Shelby.

being an OP on a big thread is HUGE and Rojo took that from this person

I hope your correct. But the pace will be much faster the first 17 laps. Then it will get faster. Can a 30:47 PR woman keep up with 29:0x women.

Ah, you know how it goes. American middle and distance runners have strong medal chances in tactical races, and will splat like an egg if the world's best go out hard. Unfortunately for Emily, the top women's 10K runners don't tend to mess around. Now if she ran the 1500 ...

Still, I must echo the consensus, that was one great U.S. trials performance.

This has to be the performance of the trials right?

There was an actual WR in the shot put, and three performances that were #2 on the global all-time list. Sisson ran brilliantly, but this isn't a performance to worry the global elite at 10k
