How about saying, Manzano over Centro (again).
I want to make the (again) a letsrun feature just like "who", "Down goes ***", etc.
In terms of the race, I much preferred this race as compared to the 3:48 Pre Classic miles. A non-super fast race is more fun as it's competitive and has tactics. Time Trials = Boring.

These guys aren't machines. He just wasn't in it.
I wanted Centro and Leo to run faster but they are more likely to finish closer to 10th than 1st this year.

rojo did was wejo often does to the rojo when wejo is out trying to think hard
Hoka over NOPe yet again. centro must have got a bad batch this year
by your standard, tactics= one guy tries to take advantage of slow pace by getting a 15m lead. One other guy faster guy tries to go with him but can't get contact. Guy taking big lead dies and then the favorite who hung in 3rd-5th the whole race wins it in the last 50m. That's not tactics, its a slow race.LRC regular wrote:

Executing the win is still tactics.
I just think there's too many runners- 12 tops and no pacers.
Glad Manzano beat Centro again.
Admittedly, part of reason is posters behavior here after Manzano's Silver. People still said Centro >> Manzano, because of his smooth stride. Yea, ppl really posted that.
Not a great race for Manzano for time or place but it looks like he was in the mix.
Pretty much clinches a top US ranking for him on the year, though.
I was hoping to see a 3:49 out of him.
A good win for Kiprop who stayed in the pack and crushed everyone over the last 100.
In the battle for the US #1 ranking on the year, Leo Manzano got the win over Centrowitz.
