I only meant he "jogged" the steeple at nats!! I obviously wasn't serious that it was a jog but all i was saying was that he didn't have to push himself that hard. Definitely not as hard as Kaul did in the 10k. That's pretty sick he still ran 8:43 at Penn if he had some trouble with the barriers. Wow. What happened this year?
Whoops, I think I was confused. I thought you were commenting on him "jogging" the steeple THIS year at Penn because he had run 8:43 the year before.
Last year I also saw him run at Penn and he ran a fantastic race (with, as far as I can tell, no jogging, easing up, or trouble with barriers).
Last year, at nationals, yes, he did seem to have a pretty easy ride in the steeplechase.
This year at Penn, he seemed to roll his ankle on the second to last water jump and eased in (hopefully, he isn't injured).
I think I've figured out where I got you wrong. My bad :)
