no way he ran 1'45
it's been stated that komen ran a flat-out 1'47.3tt just 1/52 before 7'20
http://www.coolrunning.com.au/forums/index.php?showtopic=9320&st=0Komen (who is a hell of a lot faster than Buster over 1500, 1609.34, 3000 and 5000) did a 800TT and only ran 1:47.3 and he was flat out. A week later he ran 7:20 for the 3K!
he obviously was in 3'30 or better shape at the time
if he coudn't go better than 1'47.3, no way geb ever went 1'45 ( & kennster himself has said his 800 ability is 1'48 ) otherwise he wouda made mincemeat of komen's 3'29.4 & at worst 3'27
