Guy raced hard and pushed the pace mid-way. Nothing but respect.

Fantastic Run by Ryan!! On the ropes once or twice and battled back into it. Way To Go Ryan!!!
2:04.57 holy shit, was he in an F16 or what?
That's a 2:06.53 with wind conversion.

Irrelevant point is irrelevant. No one cares if it's windy, rainy, sunny, cloudy, cold, warm, hilly, flat, sleeting, snowing...If you run the time, you run the damn time.
Ryan just hushed a lot of the haters.
One could say that God literally pushed him.

Or sucked him.
Of course his time is going to become an "American Best" just like Kara's 1/2 a few years ago. But who cares? That was an exciting race!
Bottom line: You are not a fan of the sport if you are going to hate on Hall.
he was a half mile behind.

I would've been ecstatic with that performance.
Anyone giving Hall grief about today's run should have all their running gear taken and burned and their Turkey Trot trophies broken into tiny pieces.

I would have been a quarter mile ahead of the winner but I had to babysit so it will have to wait.
Great post. My finger is sore from scrolling.
My short response.
Kenya kicked your ass!

I agree.
How did Geoffrey Mutai set the World Record with his 2:03:02 win yet Ryan Hall not set the American Record with his 2:04:57 fourth place showing? o.O

Mutai set a World Best, not a World Record and Hall set a American Best, not an American Record.
Well done Ryan Hall. Represent.
