I can't imagine either one going very fast, but it's interesting to see what they do. They might be in a separate heat from Jager, True, Chelanga, Levins, etc.

Chris Solinsky even returned before derrick rose lol. Webb and solinsky sub 1350 conservatively
Solinsky should be able to run 13:40 by now. He ran 8:05 ~7 weeks ago.
As for Webb, it's hard to imagine a scenario where he isn't in at least 13:25 shape. Last April, he ran 3:39 / 13:49 double with 45 minutes rest. He's been training consistently with a good group, increased mileage, etc. Anything slower than 13:25 is further regression.
Solinsky 13:52
Webb 14:14
Slow and slower
welcome to Eric Jenkins, Alan and Chris!
Any word on if they'll be allowed to 'race' (as opposed to being instructed to give a controlled effort)?
I'll be very surprised if Webb isn't sub 13:30.

Solinsky is out there to race and see where he stacks up. Lomong isn't racing until the Re:RUN meet in San Diego a week later.

I will be enthusiastically rooting for both. It's always good to see guys come back from injury and/or hardships and give it a go.

Perfect ^^^
Anywhere from 13:20-14:20 for both of them.

Will Jenkins get in the fast heat? His DQ'd 3k time should make him deserving ability wise.
Webb is going to go out really hard on the rabbit, then fade at the end.
Recognizing I shouldn't.get excited.and neither will be in contention most likely, but its still awesome to see and I'm looking forward to the race.
I hope they both run really well. I will make the comment that I don't think Webb's performances in general are strongly correlated with his fitness. It is more in the head for him.
He probably has the physical capability to go in the 13:teens, but may run 14:10.
It's a sad few days when the Webb fans can't even turn out to make this thread at least a 2-pager.
I'd like to make an open call for new Webb fanboys. Jump on the wagon, sub 13 comin' soon !
Get hyped
