We should really start doing our poll of the day consistently. This would have been perfect.
I was just talking to Jonathan. What's the over under for good time/bad time?
I said, 8:20. Jonathan said 8:25.
8:25 seems week as hell to me. I'm not talking about a time that makes him competitive for a US time, I'm talking about a team that makes me think he'll be challenging for medals once again.
I turned it on mid-race. The announcer never gave splits so I had no idea what pace the were on but I timed the third to last lap in 67, and the next to last lap in 67 and then saw the total time at the bell and realized, "They aren't even going to break 8:30."
But I at least expected Jager to BLAST the field - figured he was just screwing around. Nope. He gets beat. I had his last lap in 65.6.
I pray to God there were some sort of instructions of "Do not run hard". If that was all out, it was no good at all.
He's world class.All times are good. Nothing matters for another two months.
Evan Jager is DONE
Yeah his best time is almost 7 years ago. Even is now 33 and the steeplechase seems to favor the young and healthy, with few exceptions. Evan is indeed finished as a medal contender.
