Looks like it's going to be an excellent meet next Friday (July 19th).
We'll be there to get you the behind the scenes info.

Two tasks for you:
1) Tell us who you got in order 1-2-3 in the 1500: Leo, Kiprop and Farah.
2) Tell us will Lagat get the AR of 12:53.60?
The meet organizers conveniently want the meet record of 12:53.11 to go down so the pace should be rabbitted well.
3) Over or under 13:00 for Kenenisa?
We'll start.
1) Kiprop, Leo, Farah.
2) No AR for Lagat.
3) Yes for the sub- 13:00 for Bekele. We'll admit no results from this year indicate he'll do this, but we imagine with him racing all the time, his handlers must see something in practice. Hopefully he rests up for this one and let's the performance come to him. Perhaps he's forcing things out in practice - like racing practice to his his old times.
Basically we're hoping for bekele.
