if you followed him on strava, listened to his interview on LR, listened to Gibby's interview on LR, or listened to any GB interview ever, then you'd already know he does all his runs at 6:00 pace, so its actually slower than normal

And no, no shot he medals.
I don’t know. Never count out the most underrated runner in the UsA. Kid is is tough as nails.
On another note, what are the odds he medals? Maybe I am still shaken out of my wits from what happened yesterday but maybe it’s possible?
You do realize that 6:17 is a literal jog for him, right? It's easier for him to run at 6:00 than it is for you to run at 10:00. Who makes these threads?
Slower than his average run. A bit further than you'd expect for a shakeout (20-30 minutes is more common) but nothing crazy.
I didn't know anyone who'd shakeout pre-race for more than 10 minutes (a few hours before). And these were 1:46 / 3:37 type of runners. 20-30 seems too long the day of arace.
Also, in the interview right after his race he immediately talked about Parker Wolfe and how they agreed whoever represented the USA would make the finals. This is the classiest kid in the ncaa and is the future of the USA in distance. We are going n good hands.
