Rupp’s splits (note that I was at the 200m mark, so splits taken from there.
Rupp not wear the UO uniform (it was a nike top, but not the international one and I guess you kids want to know that he was kind of spikes he was wearing, black, looked like the milers, but not the ones with the gold flash and he had the nose strip on…ok I think that covers that stuff! Alberto was there with him. Oh he wore head phones during his warm up….not sure of the tunes!!
Weather was shit, 11c and rain, track was very wet. Rain did ease in the last 8 laps. Two pace makers, Rupp on his own for the last 10 laps (20-30m up on 2nd and 3rd extending to the finish).
