Hobbs Kessler wins in 3:57 at Michigan Invitational

Saw this live ...looked very comfortable, off a very moderate 3 flat. Solid opener at a mile. Next up is 3K at BU on 1/27, I believe.

were you there or did you watch a livestream?

Good Citius video of VNTC ahead of the race

Livestream

not sure what difference that makes lol

i might be going to NB on 2/4 though

reason I ask cuz I was desperately trying to find a livestream

to watch a dead livestream?

....but did he livestream?

Why is it called "Very nice track club"?

lol well obviously I wanted to watch a live livestream but if you can resuscitate a dead livestream into a live livestream, that'd be killer

Another solid performance - sub 57 last 400. Beadlescomb good close (sub 56) to come second.

Not sure if 357 is what they had in mind . Slower though 1200

He was there

Hobbs asked what the facility mile record was in a recent YouTube video, which was 3:57.9 by Willis

he broke it so I’m sure he’s happy with that, 3k goal is under 7:45 from the citius video, he can get it.

when's he running a 3k?

BU February 10th.

I’m just assuming but that race makes sense.

Guys i give you thecscheduke and you still ask?

on the 1000m thread i put up the link to stream as well

1/27 BU 3K

2/4 NB mile

mission was accomplished for today, thats all they were really looking for, solid no stress effort

Any other questions pkease ask

Very Nice is an expression Ronnie has used for decades

I was there. Flanny took them out a little slower than planned, so everybody looked quite comfy. There was a large pack of good guys and it’s a 200 banked track so a bit limited as a group in running very hard the last 400 when Ben stepped off but Hobbs looked noticeably stronger than past seasons. Weights paying off. Some of the guys doubled back a little over an hour later, Flanagan running 7:55 off of a 4:20 first 16, Beadlescomb 7:59.

The font/script chosen for Very Nice Track Club is due to a certain bit of ink Ronnie has that you don’t want to see ;)

Idk if this will get Hobbs into Milrose but if someone were to scratch(likely), he should be next in line.

Previously video RW was saying 256 for Flanagan though 1200 not sure if he could even do that on an opening leg of the DMR . Kessler does look better and ready to break 355 I think
