Beamish closed an indoor 5K (4th December 2021) in 26.25 seconds. Do not underestimate Beamish's kick.
If Beamish out kicks Hocker, I’ll be back on this thread admitting my hubris and ignorance. Not going to happen. Hocker is A team and the rest of this crowd is B team or worse. These early races are so much about who prepared and who cares, but if this was a championship final where everybody was as ready as possible, Hocker would dominate this bunch. They are all going to sit around one day and trade stories about how they got to race Hocker way back when…..
Meanwhile, in reality, Hockers "kick" amounted to nothing else than flailing of arms while Beamish easily passed him. Beamish even started 5-10 behind, while Hocker couldn't even gain ground on Teare.
