12:58.56 it looks like for Teg. Nice! Anyone else think he might have gotten the record if not for the weird tactics at the end?

Bekele was tired, rightfully so. Teg goes under 13.
Let's see the wheels for the last 400!
sub 13 for Teg!!!

WOW!!! Teg under 13!!!
12:58.56 officially.
Poor Teg. It was almost sixty degrees--such a shame his arms were so cold. I hope someone got him a nice warm blankie and a bottle at the finish.
Third fastest American. He beat Kennedy's second best time. Two Americans under 13 in a week!
THIS IS GREAT! GOOD JOB TEG!

one week too late
One week too late? For what? One week to late to become the 2nd fastest 5k runner?

F**k you, dick.
12:59????!!!
Any word on Bekele or is he still running?
Yeah, I agree. That was pretty uncalled for, and I'm genuinely happy for Teg and American distance running. But, seriously, why was he wearing those things?!

great job TEG!
awesome!
I really can't stand it when people say someone could have gotten the record had he gone earlier. First of all, he didn't get it! Second, there's no evidence whatsoever that he could have gone faster and earlier. As it was, Ritz's last 800 was faster than Teg's.

12:58 for Teg. For the last 1000m as it slowed down, Teg sat at the back. it was 10:57 with 800 to go, then something like 12:00 with 400 to go. Teg sat at the back no matter what. I wonder if he was redlining already. But he certainly didn't look like it. He could have pushed and gotten the AR. oh well....sub 13! TWO sub 13 white guys, two Americans at that, in two weeks. Nice.
