how hard is it to NOT let Mo do what he always does?
boring and disappointing
If you really want an answer, here goes:
It is VERY hard to not let Mo do what he always does. Mo is not going to take the pace, but he IS going to follow the pace (any pace), and 99% times out of a hundred, he is going to come by some time in the last 1000 and make it very hard to beat him. He signed up for a DL 5000 with TEN PEOPLE who'd run under 13. Despite this, like always, he managed to make them play his game and beat them all without having to even show all his cards. There are very few athletes so good that taking them against the field (when the field is this good) is a reasonable bet. Farah is one of them.
