Sorry, I know it is frowned upon to clutter the messageboard with multiple threads on the same relative topic, but I think that this video deserves it's own thread because many wouldn't know about it and should watch it, because it typifies to me the kind of runner that David was. This was the first time I saw him race in person, and I'm glad I could find someone's posted video of it on Youtube.

Great video
-
Good stuff. The DMR leadoff leg is not typically that aggressive, but DT wasn't a typical runner.
-
Olympic-level talent and attitude, right there. Thanks for sharing.

Damn, was that a ~2:56 leadoff??

awesome video. super gutsy!
respectfully, he probably should have waited until 300-400m to go and unleashed to separate from the group. he almost got caught -
David Torrence leaving the planet. left a hole in my heart.
I remember videos of him running on roads and threads also about it. Sad to hear he is dead. He was an inspiration to many who run/ran on roads.
Wonder if Txrunnrgurl can chime in maybe with some thoughts too since she is big on the borads.

That's good find, thanks.

Thanks so much for posting. DT was fearless.
