Conner MF Mantz!!

That was SOOO much fun to watch live!!!

3x champion. 3x in a row! He’s a beast!

Coming from so far behind like he did and closing so FAST was awesome to see!

How did the hometown fella do?

Which one? Aidan, drew, or Joe?

Mr. Workout was 7th I think. Not a factor since it wasn't a "Strava" sort of day.

You could really see how spent Conner was at the end of the race and his strava caption later just one word "Ouch."

I'm sure his legs were more dead after Boston but in terms of just physical pain, hurt, it's possible he hurt more after Boulder haha

Was in the stands at Folsom Field to witness that finish, easily one of the most exciting I've seen in person. Was cheering really hard for Mantz as he entered the stadium, he really left it all out there and collapsed as soon as he broke the tape. Really nice guy and total class act too, he hung around the finish area and let a bunch of fans get pictures with him

He came so hard from behind

Crazy finish! It was awesome. I hope Conner celebrates with some solid microbrews. He definitely earned a night of celebration and sloppy drunkenness in Boulder tonight!

I thought the livestream had a graphic that indicated he was 12 seconds behind the leader with a mile to go.

He made up most of the time in the last km especially going up the hill to the stadium.

Post the link and you can be a hero for the day.

go to 5:09 mark

First man to win 3 in a row. Where's the black page?

This was exciting. I’ve become a big Conner fan, can’t help but cheer for the guy. Whoever was calling the race they were great, was expecting to have to mute them. Sidenote- klecker looks like a body guard tagging along with these guys for security. He barely moves his arms when he runs, has it always been like that?

I believe the commentators were Frank Shorter and Alan (?) Culpepper. Both very good. Klecker is a big guy but seems efficient. Reminds me a bit of Herb Lindsay from back in the day.

It’s been a little while since I looked at an elite runner’s Strava (okay, maybe only a few weeks).

Totally worth it. Thanks. Outstanding job by Mantz.

Herb looks small in all the pictures I googled but an article said he was 5”9 150 lbs so maybe he got kinda jacked at some point? Klecker isn’t a huge dude he just looked so big next to everyone else today
