I'm a huge rupp fan but he should learn a lesson from god himself, timmy tewbow. Do you think tebow would ever pussy out on a race because of allergen levels being off the chart??? HELL NO, tebow is a winner and if rupp wants to be a winner he should go run at stanford. Tebow could run a 400 in 47 seconds in snowstorm while dragging an oxen if thats what he had to do to set an AR. I was fine with it when rupp was debating between which meet to run at but this is getting ridiculous. We can't baby him. What is he going to do if its raining in london 2012, ask the officials to change the schedule and push the 10k back a day? Sack up galen, big timmy got drafted cause he has heart, show you have some too.

Forecast at Stanford for tonight are winds 7-13 mph with 20 mph gusts during the day? ouch!

I would think we will see a fast competitive race, but no record under these conditions.

For those who think the record is soft, here's the American top ten list, note that there are only 6 American runners under 27:30 all-time. I have mixed feelings about Rupp looking for perfect conditions to go after the record, on the one hand it seems like taking some legitimacy out of the record if he gets it, on the other hand, he'll need perfect conditions to get it. Hell, 4:22 per mile pace for 6.2 miles is pretty astounding (and Bekele's record pace was a freaky 4:14)
1. 27:13.98 - Meb Keflezighi - Palo Alto (2001)
2. 27:16.99 - Abdi Abdirahman - Eugene (2008)
3. 27:20.56 - Mark Nenow - Brussels (1986)
4. 27:22.28 - Dathan Ritzenhein - Berlin (2009)
5. 27:25.61 - Alberto Salazar - Oslo (1982)
6. 27:29.16 - Craig Virgin - Paris (1980)
7. 27:31.34 - Todd Williams - Knoxville (1995)
8. 27:33.48 - Galen Rupp - Palo Alto (2007)
9. 27:33.93 - Alan Culpepper - Palo Alto (2001)
10. 27:34.72 - Alan Webb - Palo Alto (2006)

The most interesting thing about this list is that 6 of the top 10 took place on US soil. You don't necessarily need to go to Europe to run fast (although several of those races did have Kenyan/Ethiopian rabbits).

I had the pleasure of watching 4 of these in person, including the top 2 (Bekele's 26:25 at 9:30 in the morning in Eugene was probably the most impressive performance I've ever seen). Pretty cool.

re: road rashed

trying to do everything under laboratory conditions is detrimental to rupp. the races that matter don't occur under laboratory conditions
