its always the race the 3rd. Even if 2 guys break away, they'll be content to sit together and not throw down until the last 5k. In this race, making the olympics matters more than winning.
The race for third. First doesn't matter all that much.
Also remember that in 2004, when they were Olympic medalists, neither Meb nor Deena had been first at the trials.
McCourt put some decent money in the pot. Getting paid matters!
