it's not.

Yes....but it's better for guys like Torres, Kennedy and Bakken with moderate pacemaking, then 12.50-pacemaking....

Their main goal is to qualify to worlds, and this race is perfect.

Baken vs. Torres aka Torres vs a Yorkie

whats the conditions supposed to be like for this race...Hopefully Riley comes through so i dont have to hear it from you King :)

This is the time to prove it for the Yanks. No excuses possible if the Americans run 13:35 in this one. Nice high B class race, without being overwhelmed. Should be perfect for some great times, and I hope Kennedy can motivate and coach his countrymen a bit. Work together and rip it up boys! Shut up the letsrun cynics among us.

It IS a "B" race. I would venture to say it could come close to a "C" race, but it remains a "B" race because it has America's best. But it is obviously a "B" race. Learn your track.

An "A" race would only have Kenyans, Ethiopians, and Moroccans.

Shadrack Kosgei is an "A" race runner, but otherwise this is more of a "B" race. It's not a top to bottom "A" field by any stretch of the imagination.

this looks like a list of the best "also rans" from the kenyan trials - guys who no one would have been too suprised to see make the team yet no one wasn't too suprised when they didn't. nicholas kemboi, shadrack kosgei, enock mitei, and ben maiyo are all solid runners, but proably about 10-15 seconds behind chebi, limo, and those guys. this should be a good race for those american guys to run a great time if they'll run for time instead of running to win. the kenyans are probably going to try to go fast to improve their season's best and get in better races the rest of the season. the ladies field is loaded with many of the top young kenyans - some great talent there. best of luck to the american guys.

Thats odd, because I swear I saw Kara on the S Boulder Creek trail this morning. Maybe it was her sister?

Hassan Mouhrit, Belgium.
