Okay I'll help you out here, but next time look at the sequence of replies and try to figure out what's going on before correcting someone.
430 said something to the effect of "he couldn't run under 4:20 after his first sub-4". Then Catch Me If You Can replied by asking if 430 was baiting someone to bring up German. This is because German recently ran a 7:57 3k after a 3:55 mile. At least 1 mile of that 3k was under 4:20, which would prove 430 wrong. Unfortunately, 430 specifically said "first" sub-4, and since Senor Fernandez had previously run 3:56, it did not prove 430 wrong, although he is still quite stupid.
And yes, I realize that was Galen Rupp's first sub-4 mile. Congratulations to him.

Well, that's much better than how he celebrated his Olympic Trials 2nd place finish this past summer. I saw him at the bar after the race--he walked right in to some friends who handed him a shot of something. He finished the shot and went right for a whale of a girl who he proceeded to mack on all night....
My money says that he bagged him self a blue whale.

Highly doubtful, as he's got a very cute, and serious, longtime girlfriend.
Nope. It happened.
Ask the boys that did the 3,000 miles to the Trials videos. They sat there and watched it.
But, it could have been his "cute" girlfriend who he was all over. But, that would then question your idea of "cute." The girl he was pouring all of his elf charm all over was a beast.
So much for Eugene being track town when one of its biggest stars shacking up with a female lumberjack.
His cute gf was a 10k NCAA qualifier so I doubt many people would deem her to be a beast.
Guy, I highly doubt you were at the location where Galen was after his 10K, but I was. It was a bar where all the athletes were going (Abdi included) and Galen was there. He was wearing a wife beater with some over sized jeans. Quite comical really, especially given how skinny he is. But to each their own. He was with his girlfriend (the one on the NCAA cross video that he kisses after the race) and yes they were fawning over each other like youngsters in love will do.
Big deal, his business, not yours. Stop the slander.
Since so many of you frequent the same party spots as, and profess to know so much about salazar's magic elf. Who is this mystery beauty/beast? This mysterious NCAA (male? or female?) qualifier who could put to rest the untidy speculation as to the elf rupp's amorous preference.

Hmmm, you would be talking about Villard Street Pub would you?!?!
Geee, and I think they may have even closed off the parking lot so that people could drink outside and off the patio as well.
And, people could possible pick up fat chicks after qualifing for the Olympcis.
Wow...that was fun!
She's a real person, she's been discussed before. She is no beast. It's their business, so I will let you do your own homework if it means so much to you.
It's creepy to me that there are people trying to slander Galen or her on here, and the whole infatuation with who he dates etc.
Most runners discussed on this board are analyzed by purely their running, but their is a small clan of Rupp haters/stalkers that have to go into his personal life. Even more disturbing is how they bring this stuff up following any of his running achievments.
Scary, disturbing, pathetic, and lame behavior that probably stems from several shortcomings on the part of the verbal sh@t slingers including but not limited to:
Insecurity
Sexual frustration
Closet confusion masked often by severe homophobia as denial
Jealousy
But hey, I'm sure you guys are class acts.

You forgot to list:
*Picking up the exact same fat chick that I was eyeing
*Having a second father whose name resembles the beef jerky, Oberto.
*Having looks that could even make David the Gnome jealous
*Having a much larger supply of breathing strips than you could ever dream
That should wrap the list up.
Thanks for getting things back on track.
Who is this fat chick anyway?

haha running a 4:20 after a sub 4:00 would be no problem, your an idiot, lots of badasses have closed a 5k or 10k in sub 4, your a 4:30 miler and no absolutll nothing about sub 4 or running fast
i dont know whats dumber. the430milers post or you calling a runner "badass" for closing a 5k in sub 4. and also are you insinuating that you have run sub 4 before? if i had to guess i'd say probably not considering how dumb you sound so go phuck yourself you pompous dickhead high schooler.
You have to remember, at the higher level of talent in distance running you will generally find normal people who chose a sport due to being good at it. They are capable of normal everyday life, even more than capable and tend to be pretty good people who fell into running because they had talent.
Below that you get people who are into running for all sorts of reasons. Among those are the portion that are just awkward and insecure. They are the ones that carryout the stereotype of runners being uncoordinated physically and socially. Couldn't fit into the team environment (or lacked the physical ability) of most sports but found that they could quietly join the cross country team without a lot demanded from them. So this becomes part of their life/identity.
Throw in an anonymous message board and you have the perfect storm for these individuals. Something from which they have some experience, and they can sit in bedroom corners or basements and make snide, slanderous remarks about the people that in all actuality are probably better them in nearly every possible way. So the cycle continues and all the while they fill up a false sense of importance, significance, purpose.
It's a good thing that I'm a sub 16 5k runner--and that's in grass and not on a track.
So that puts me is a very high percentile in the World as far as running ability goes, so that makes me very special.
Furthermore, I do not pick up fat chicks, wear breath right strips, or have a massive collection of running tights in the colors of green & yellow--THUS, making me more special than GAYlan.
May the verbal bashings commence among the young, insecure, and less significant individuals hiding in bedroom corners.
I have a right to be here damn it!!!
The same could be said of the gay-for-gaylen rupp lovers. Those who never found success at anything, much less running. Those who's only validation is through hitching themselves onto someone else's success. Those who, for whatever reason, cannot accept the fact that not everyone shares their viewpoint, hero's, etc.

What in the world are you discussing here? We're discussing the miserable act of slandering people and trying to create negative attributes about them and fester negative energy.
Nobody said you have to like a certain runner, or any runner. There are plenty of people who are not fans of Galen Rupp, or Chris Solinsky or any other runner. Maybe from college rivalry, high school rivalry, you don't like their form, don't like their tactics etc. It's fine and natural to have your aversions, but going to the lengths that shady characters like yourself and some of the other dark corner cowards do on this site is beyond not being a fan. It's out to prove something that likely is not so much related to the runner being slandered. It's mostly related to an emptiness or shortcoming on the part of the slanderer.
Now go ahead and deny it again.
End result...workout times and excess LBed girls aside, he runs fast, like him or not! But I am sure the USOC will investigate. "end the hate!" everyone on this thread sounds ignorant, I hope all of this was up to BA grammatical standards. If not, go run and see if you care afterwards "you all" are slights, and yes I know that is not a proper use of slang that is unknown to all.
to quote Mr. Stephen Morrissey
"The world is full of crashing bores"
The majority of this thread is a strong back up to that statement
Their, their, funkster. They're is always someone who thinks there clever, and than they use someone elses line, and claim its there own. You're comment was suggested all ready, and you think you're post is supposed to be funny and original. Its not funny, its not original, and it shows that your a lonely person whom never had friends.
