He'll run faster only if he needs to. Lagat FTW!!
NO
I think Lagat will run something like 13:25-13:30. No faster than 13:18. I'd love to be wrong and see Lagat go 13:05, though... go Lagat!
well, he needs to get the A standard, so I think he will try to go nder 1320

That gets him into the 2009 WCs, not the 2008 OG! Kennenisa freakin Bekele couldn't make the OG if he didn't run the standard in the qualifying window.

It is amazing how little knowledge of track and field some of you f***s have.
13:07
yea, I dont see how I have little knowledge. As far as I know he still needs the standard. I know its 1321, and I dont see why he woldnt want to go faster than 1320 to be safe.
