murphy is obviously going to get the headlines (and justifiably so), but for me the key to that race for the US was kidder. He went toe to toe with an Olympic finalist (and 1:42 man) in Alfred Kipketer and not only held his own, but he actually passed off in the lead and had the fastest split of the entire race.
I agree. I was surprised he ran so well.
