What a difference a year makes!
At the '12 Trials Amy Hastings beats Shalane Flanagan.
At the '13 Moscow World Championships today Flanagan (8th in 31:34.83) laps Hastings (14th in 32:51.19).
So, what's going on here? Weather conditions? Sure it was humid ...but it was humid for everyone; top four all ran 30:47 or lower.
Flanagan is a year older but ran a credible race. Has Hastings peaked out? Hasay ran 32:17 for 12th.
40 year old Deena Kastor was our top Marathoner at WC? !!
This was supposed to be a good WC team. What does the future hold for Women 10000 & Marathon? Doesn't look bright at this point.
