Tuesday July 10 Results - Leo Manzano 1:46.79 Win, LaShawn Merritt 45.51 Win, Lolo Jones 12.74 Win

looks like a 1+ second penalty per lap for slow track.

a just-survive, don't get injured and move on type of scenario.

A win is a win is a win.

More like a get your feet in Europe and a race under your belt to adjust to the location and time zone.

They will feel better in the next race.

I expect a similar result from Centro in his upcoming 800.

Run 800s, work on speed, only thing he can really improve this close to the Olympics anyways.

Where is Wariner is he waiting to drop a big one in Trials before fading to 2nd again?

2 Cornelius Kangogo (ken) 7:48.28

-oh, yes he can. YES, he can.

Cornelius Kangogo is the best name of the year.

That's an encouraging display by Manzano.

No, more like exactly what he wrote. All the 400 times were crawling as well.

Is there a reason this thread has been hot for two days even though there isn't even one page of posts?

I think the 400 runners were adjusting to jet lag as well, not necessarily a slow track.

Get in a race at a small meet to bring you into racing mode for the area.

Some people will fly to Europe and race in a low key meet early to adjust.

Some will fly there and train for a full week before a race to adjust.

Some can race well the next day after the trip, but I do not believe that is the preferred method.
