1. Farah 13:10.60

2. Rupp 13:11.44

3. Korir 13:39.52

4. Silva 13:41.93

5. Yoseff 14:17.81

6. Beattie 14:18.71

7. Murray 15:17.56

8. McLeod 16:32.72

9. Mellor 16:32.76

How are 7,8, and 9 allowed to be in this race? And if even they had a horrendous day, how were they allowed to finish?

I'm not ripping on them by any means, but doesn't it seem like if you have people going for national records that you should weed out some of the more recreational guys?

re: really bad day or what?

Someone on the other thread said that a couple of runners were going for a fast 3K time, so they went through the 3K hard and then jogged through the final 2K.
