    re: validation

    Think twice about this:

    ESPN throught the 5K was enough of a draw they didn't want it shown live. A BIGGER DRAW THAN THE 100!!! I'd call that respect. People wanted to see this race and ESPN thought their advertisers would get the most out of a 5K. A freak'n 5K. Never before in history... Seriously, this is BIG news.

    I understand the disappointmnet at not seeing it live, but stay off the message board and watch it in HD on ESPN a few minutes later.

    The 5K was ESPN's bread and butter tonight. A distance race - I can only shake my head...

    re: i agree with spencer

    the lagat/solinsky finish was better, but not just because of the last 1600 in 3:57. their last 2400m was run in 6:02.88!! 2400m usually doesn't mean much but according to the purdy calc it's the equivalent of a 3:52.1 full mile, or 7:43.59 3k depending how you look at it. ridiculous

    re: nogingers

    Yes I too chose that order for the 5k. Yes, he really messed the contest up. Haha, letsrun has corrupted part of my enthusiasm for the usatf championships with a gambling fervor! My predictions have mostly been accurate but screwed up by many of these athletes, especially the women, being double entrants and not starting: Jenny Barringer Simpson in the 1500 and 5k and Jen Rhines in the 5k and 10k. I should have known Jen Rhines would lean towards the longer distance as Barringer Simpson would for the shorter distance. A plague upon it! No just kidding, but somehow I was able to assess accurately that Goucher and Flanagan wouldn't do double duty and show up for the 5k. Dagbladdit

    I thought Tegenkamp said he was not running the 5k?
