12:55.23 (solinsky's time) it would have been the american record if lagat had not run 12:51 (lagats new american record) in the same race.
12:57.78 for 4th. He runs 12:53 in Eugene later.
Lagat runs 12:54-55 for 2nd.
Hey everybody, lets predict the time of the slower of two Americans.

No shit. I was pointing out that Letsrun only cares about white people.
or someone on a hot streak who just broke an American Record. Lagat is obviously more accomplished at 5000 but who knows what Solinsky will do now that he has broken 27? gotta be a confidence booster, and Lagat has been very good but not otherworldly the past few weeks...
13.08.01 Just guessing, I'll pass on the sugar water.

Lame. Lagat just won the world indoor champs. He is the world indoor champion! Talk about otherworldly. Solinski had won, um, nothing. Lets face it, to most people on Letsrun American distance runner means white guy.

You and I both know that field at World Indoor was not all the best runners in the world. Granted, Solinsky could not even make the team.
I'd feel just as confident in either of them if they switched recent performances (7:32, 4:57 for Solinsky, 27:59 for Lagat).
Let's face it, though, would you rather have the 5k AR holder be a jacked white guy from Wisconsin or a man who has competed for Kenya in the Olympics?

I'm sure solinsky appreciates you using his name to promote your crappy drink.
I'm going to do a mayeroff marathon prediction contest and send the winner a free bottle of douche.

The group coached by Jerry is the most suspicious group in American distance running? Are you new to the American distance scene? Is your judgment of who is the most suspicious based solely on who is currently the fastest?
