Exactly. He got hurt at nationals. These things happen. He wants to run to try to salvage something in the latter part of the season. Yes, he probably won't run like he did in May but so what? He gets more experience and can build on it for next year.
LRC trolls are jerks.

Clayton Murphy is FINISH
Finished?
Not like Centrowitz "Finished".
Murphy's 148 will be back to 143 in another week.
Meanwhile, Centro, who is actually Finished, is drowning his sorrows in Vegas, while coming to the realization that 1 in 1000 is lucky. Like, "if I raced another thousand Oly 1500s, I will never pull that luck off again" sorrow.
Murphy is faster than Centro and will have many more opportunity to show you "Finish".
51 second close??? Murphy does drills at 51 seconds. He can do high knees, butt kickers, skipping, or backwards running @ 51s.
Centro can barely all out sprint a 51! Talk about finished!
While I don't think he'll be running 1:43 soon, I would say he'll be much faster in Birmingham. Maybe 1:45 mid to high

He also wasn't injured- he was run down and dealing with severe cramping due to the heat/exhaustion in SAC.
Prediction: 1:43.1 FTW
As well as serious depletion of his precious bodily fluids.

Bad form. Dead last in Sopot today, 1.48 high in a 1.47 race. Clayton is done,
You shall see. Murphy is going to come there and run on PURE HATE!!

Daniel Rowden of GB who came 5th (above Murphy) is 19 years old and ranked 7th in Britain this year. Not a pro.
This was not a good run for Murphy at all.
Could be jet lag and/or running cautious.

I recall Centro mentioning a workout that he did weeks before Rio last year that was actually 10 x 400m at 51 seconds. Nice try though.

Yeah but 51 is pedestrian for 1:42 guys.
Murphy does :48 repeats.
:51's skipping. Backwards.
AND he wasn't born with Pre's golden jock strap to suck on while daddy trained him since he was zero years old. Then straight to AlSal. ---I would venture to say Clayton Murphy has trained about a 1/4 of what Centro's training was at by the same age. A bit more upside for Murph. Certainly fastlier.

Nice derailment attempt.
I think Murphy will be ok. Probably learned some hard lessons this season. Should be back in good form next year.
I don't see Murphy's name in the current entry list. Must have scratched.
I noticed that in the women's 800m (starting at 13:41) there is no Caster, Margaret, or Francine. Then, I noticed the race is called "800m women Women"! Coincidence? I think not!

Does he need the money that badly?
Just bag the season, let your body recover, and aim for next year. Murphy is going to have a short career if he's not careful.
Of course money is important. Races are also important cos they improve your condition, and earn you money.
Earning money in races is what pro runners do.

Maybe, maybe not. Doubling at USAs did not improve Murphy's condition and cost him big money because he likely would have been on the team for London if he had taken better care of himself.
I hope he's not following Wheating's example and messing up a promising career with injuries.
