great troll thread
I'm sure guys like Broe and Torres did not know who Withrow even was.
Link us a picture of Withrow doing all the work, and I'll believe you aren't a troll.
young and dumb
i was at the race. obviously you weren't there, so don't reply to the thread if you don't know what it is about. they were leaching off him, and yes they know who he is. they met him at footlocker.
i'm sure they would agree that they leached off him.
i think it says more about withrow's ability than their lack of guts, but it is still an important thing to mention. as far as the race went, i think it was the most impressive thing to see.
Show us a photo of Withrow leading Broe and Torres. There's a million photos on John Neopolitan's site. If you can't produce any photographic evidence, why even gripe about it? Broe and Torres have bigger balls than most large primates.
Another idiot from Illinois...
It's the truth.
I know you are madly in love with both Broe and Torres, and you obviously are in to the beatiality thing, but they did, as a matter of fact, leach for quite a while.
You can look at the pics on all the running websites you want, but unless you were there - don't talk.
You sound like a pathetic groupie.
(i hate the people that only speak for others, and can't back up anything with their own actions or words)

I was at he race also, I saw it too. At about the half way point, poor Withrow was left doing all the work trying to catch Torres, how lame of Broe, Dobson, and any other geezer up there.
I dont think he was 'griping' about it. Looked like a simple observation.
Congrats to Withrow
Leach?
What is leaching? I say Broe and Torres ran smart and let Withrow do the work.
Since when does a runner have to lead the whole race?
I don't know of many coaches out there who tell their athletes to lead the race/pack from the gun.
That is why they will not make a dent at Worlds
LOL! Just like when Geb made Tergat do "all the work". Yep, he was a coward who relied solely on a 53 second final lap to win. Loser!
What is with you young guys anyway? Does everything need to be personal? Must there always be some fear angle or trash talk? Or did everyone at the top, Withrow included, just run smart races to put themselves in position to make the team? Is running becoming like other sports and hip-hop? "Yo, the Boulder posse straight up dissed ma' boy M-Dawg by treatin' 'im like a bitch, know what I'm sayin'?" I guess it's now more important to respect someone else's effort than win.
Getting worked and then outkicked is part of the sport. Deal with it. The "nice" rules you played by in high school don't apply at this level.

Grow up.
I was there too and sorry boys but there was no "leaching" going on in the race at all, particularly when the racing began and that's when it matters most. There was a pack of runners (behind Ritz and Torres) that was running TOGETHER. It was a back and forth thing going on the entire time , with Withrow tucked in the middle. It was exciting watching the action unfold. By the way Broe was playin, we he was ready to move, he left those guys like they were standing still. Stop hating!

Thank you.
They let him lead because they were trying to make the team and/or run the best race they could, and he was obviously running a pace that would facilitate that. I assume Withrow was running the way he thought he needed to run.
Why is it all about "respect"? Why does it matter if someone else respects you? Worry about self-respect, which is gained from doing your best. Withrow's quote certainly suggests he felt that way about his race. So what else matters?
Finally, why does following necessarily foretell a poor performance at Worlds? If they can latch on to a Kenyan, they'll be fine. If they do it with a Mongolian or East Timorese, they might not be.
you stop hating!
I was there also. If anything, Broe did more leading than Withrow. They were all running together - Broe, Withrow, and Dobson all leading at times. Withrow definitely did not do all of the work. Why does this thread exist?
Some bored troll getting his rocks off. Obviously, if there were photographic evidence, he might have a leg to stand on.
