Brussels 5k is being paced for 12:45. I predict Fisher will run 12:46.79. What does everyone else think?

13:02

What are you babbling on about? Predictions? Good grief!

I'm simply hoping that Fisher does what he does best - force the pace with 3-4 laps to go and KILL IT.

for what race?

brussels?

Pacers?

12:59.54

Within 3 seconds of 13:00 in either direction.

This won't be a fast race. It's the end of the season, there's no incentive to run fast to make a national team as there was in the earlier DL 5ks that went out quickly. The only hope for this going sub-13 is if Klecker and Fisher agree to work together for 4k. Both have stated goals of running sub-13 this season so that's their incentive. If they do that, they'll probably just drag someone like Krop or Kejelcha to the win, but they will have a chance of achieving their time goals.

I think he’ll run around 13 flat, maybe a little under, and finish near the front of the race. Even with a field this good I don’t see the winning time being super fast. Hopefully I’m wrong and someone is willing to push the pace.

12:48.8, unless it goes out really slow.

Would be my guess. They go out at 13:00, have a couple slow laps, and kick it in hard. I also wonder if he is a bit past his peak..

The probability that you are right is less than Plank’s constant in SI units treated as a fraction.

12:56. But, he will return to the Boston University Trampoline and Tennis Center in January or February of 2023 and run 12:45.

If he can hang on to Thierry, he can run 12:45 tomorrow! They are planning to make it very fast!

12:55.71

You really think Jerry is going to put in Fisher without any sort of plan? I almost guarantee that there will be pacing lights and a pacer for a good portion of the race. BTC’s top athletes don’t just race to race.

On a bad day, Fisher goes 12:59, on a good day 12:47

I also bet Woody paces for 3 to 4 K
