Trial heats of the 1500 finish 2 hours before the start of the 5,000. They are taking top 2 in each trial looking at who is in Lagats trial it's not pushing it to say. Running to get one of the safe placing Qs he might have to run 3:39/40.
Then 2 hours later throw down with Teg, Goucher and the boys...
i think he will run the 5k only if something happens in the 1500 (falls or something) and he doesnt make the finals
he did it last year, and unless the schedule has changed, im sure he will be fine.

Or he could run the 5000 and hope for a tactical race.
With 8-10 guys in the race able to go 13:30, even a tactical race will not be that slow. With tired legs the needed kick in the last 400 might not be there.
