they will go out in about 51 flat, thats for dam sure.
Webb will have the most coming back in, and he'll be good for 52 high-53 high depending on the comp.
so I got him in around 1:43high-1:44mid
he is capable of doing that. Depending on how the race develops he could end up anywhere from 1:43-1:46.
Although a PR is almost assured.
hahaha...beta cloud. how stupid old sci-fi is.
And seriously, did you see those sideburns on that woman. yuck man...just yuck
If this is so then you are saying he is the American Coe.
If he runs 1:43.high-1:44.mid how does that make him Coe. Coe ran much faster than that...Also Coe was a 800/1500 runner whereas Webb has shown better strength in the 5K/10K, and less speed in the 400/800 even if he does run 1:43 -1:44 to go with with 47.xx relay speed.
Haven't heard from Symmonds in a while. What was his last race?

1. No one said that he should bow down to competitors
2. No elite runners check their watch 400m into an 800m
3. This isn't his event. He is doing it to be better at the 1500m. Going out in 1:50 is a lot easier if you've run 1:44 (so is closing in 25 for the last 200m). So really, he isn't doing it for a good time, or a win, but for training, so that he can win when it matters.
A few people have mentioned that because some of the competitors in the race have faster PB's, then Webb isn't going for the Win.
Webb checking his watch was a joke, and a reference to the 2005 USA 1500m final where he CHECKED HIS WATCH:
http://www.mensracing.com/image_view.php?p=112&s=photos/2005/usaoutdoor05/highlightsYou're right, the 800m is not his event. But his goal should be to win. If he's entered in the race against a world class field, then I'm sure he plans on winning the thing.
Symmonds is a great match-up for Webb, since he doesn't like to go out too hard. Webb should just tuck in on his ass teh first 400, then follow him up through the field on the second backstraight, then just let it all hang out.
Sweet, this is the first time I've been able to gloat on this board.
Webb won the race - his main goal, I'm sure. The time came with the WIN. And what was his time? 1:43, just like I said.
I rule.

Good job, peeps. Right on.
Did Symmonds hug and kiss Webb afterwards? Did Webb ignore Symmonds, the flower girl, or both?
NO way Webb runs sub 1:44. His PR is only like 1:46 or something. Yeah, he is running fast right now, but he's up against world class two-lap specialists. Plus, it's probably going to be a strategic race anyways coming down to a big kick off slow pace. I say 1:45.2 for a new PR and probably top 5.
(don't people look pretty dumb in hindsight?)
