on his way back to the top. this win has got to be a major confidence booster for webb. lol
Notice Jordan McDougall in the results...
Looks like I'll have to ban Chick-fil-a.
LOL, guy is shot.
Ah, Webb v2. The kid has good genes, both dad and mom.
Alan Webb hates gay people?
I was sure this was a troll-post before I clicked the thread. Webb + chick-fil-a 5k = real? My mind is blown.
glad he's running and healthy and it doesn't hurt to do some moderate tempos up distance in this season.
Is that his real twitter account?

I thought this too, truly surprised.

Also wondering this. The twitter page seems potentially fake, but it appears the results are legit.

Not sure about that. Originally what happened was there was the was that @alanwebb1500 twitter account who was able to fool people such as Matt Tegenkamp on twitter. Then Jason Vigilante, Webb's coach, (@jasonvigilante1) says that @alanwebb1500 isn't really Alan Webb. A few days later, the @awebbruns twitter account shows up saying this is the real Alan Webb. The @alanwebb1500 account says that he was pretending to be Alan Webb so that the real Alan Webb would come and make an account to clear up confusion, and @alanwebb1500 then deleted his account.
However, Jason Vigilante has said that @awebbruns isn't real either. This is weird because it's his coach who is saying it's not real so you'd think he'd know (and he's the one that said @alanwebb1500 wasn't real). Still, this post from @awebbruns had a picture which clearly was of Webb so if it's not him then it's some stalker or some person who isn't actually Webb but posting Webb updates (perhaps like the @AlanWebb_AW account which isn't being updated anymore, but it was called Alan Webb News and was about Alan Webb).
REGARDLESS of whether or not the account is real, those results are obviously real. I looked up the results just to make sure because of the doubt that he might not actually have an account, but obviously the results show a 29 year old Alan Webb from Charlottesville, VA ran 14:29 in a 5K.
I wrote a lot of typos but you get the idea.

Spectacular work, Sherlock!
Yeah, a few posts didn't seem like they would actually have come from Webb, such as the "Who thinks I should run a couple more pro races?" The picture makes it seem legit, but maybe that was just posted on some race recap somewhere and reuploaded here?

That you actually know that shit about the various twits kinda scares me.
To recap
Webb runs a road 5Km about 30 seconds slower than the Indoor High School 5000m record and the faithful proclaim resurrection!!!!
Jordan McDougal, brother of 2007 NCAA XC champ Josh McDougal finished 4th
He must have pissed off those 2 Kenyans looking for prize $$$
