Rupp is a much better tactician than Tegencamp.
I watched the video of the race at flotrack. Tegencamp got up to the leaders with a bit more than 5 laps to go and then kept cutting himself off to stay behind them. He was lucky to get second, only because one of the first two stopped before he got to the finish.
The other four were battling the last 5 laps, while Tegencamp kept staying behind them. That is fine for conserving energy but at some point you need to make a move to get in front by the finish. The last 180 meters is way too late to be 10 or 15 meters behind, and hoping you are faster than everyone else.
But if you really are faster than everyone else then why not make the pace faster with 5 laps to go. It is, after all, a 5000 meter race. And if you can't hold the pace for 5 laps, then surely you have to be in the front the last lap.

Teg's tactics have got him 4th at a World Championship. Let me know when Rupp does the same.

I'm sick of all you fanboys goining on and on about galen rupp saying that he ran such and such the day before so most likely if he didn't run such and such, he would've ran much faster. Give it a break, the point is the fact that he hasn't ran a 3: 34 so don't go off spouting out like its going to be a walk in the park. Not only do you show disrespect to teg, ulrey and other u.s distance runners you also show complete ignorance about the sport. And everytime someone tells you guys to settle down a little bit you lable them as a hater or a doubter. I'm not a hater or a doubter and want rupp to succeed on the world scene just as much as solinsky, teg, hall, etc but I'm also careful not to pit one against the others. ~cheers~
Well done sir! Post of the decade... No contest!

ummmm....except for it was really stupid.

I agree with most of your post, but if you look at what he was responding to it was pretty rabbid remark. That's not exactly what I would call telling "someone to settle down a little bit".

Calling someone an idiot, and "are you really that stupid" is pretty annoying stuff. I think this is a discussion board, not just a fact placement board so why can't people discuss???

Otherwise I agree with your post, and I would have loved to see Rupp in that race. I think he Solinsky and Teg are all ready to run great in a 13:10 5K race if not faster. I was wondering why the heck Teg did not try to win it a 300 out or earlier though. No harm in winning a race and he looked like he was holding back.

Anyway worlds is the most important part of this season and I'm sure we'll see a lot of these 3 in europe next summer with no international championship to peak for.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Jager dip under 7:40 at his upcoming 3K in Monaco, hopefully Solinsky can get down to 7:35. It's pretty exciting for American distance fans with at least 3 Americans in the realm of what Kennedy was doing at 3K and 5K (plus Lagat) and more lined up to be there very soon.

Ohh, as for your first line I too agree that Rupp is capable of a great 1500 mark based on what I've seen, but I don't think it will be a walk in the park. And I don't think there is any harm in stating my opinion. Teg hasn't broken Kennedy's ARs at 3K or 5K despite many hard attempts, but I still think he can.

How was it stupid? Seemed on point to me. Unless you're one of those "fanboys" the poster was talking about.

ya... not a stupid comment at all... unless you're a fanboy hanging from rupps nutsack... I like Rupp alot too, just not enough to glorify every tempo run he does like others...

can't wait till Rupp has his 3:28/3:45/12:45/26:30 season that you all think he'll have

re: DeezelRunner

"seriously,

8:06-8:10

think of how he compares to Ritz and Webb when they ran those 8:11ish times"

This is from another thread but it proves my point.
