        I don't think so.

        Yes, I'll admit what we've learned over the last half decade plus is to NEVER doubt a Salazar stud - even if they are defying the 'logic/rules' of running that you've learned over a lifetime of following the sport. Can't break 4:00 until age 22, that doesn't mean they won't run 3:50 indoors. Global also ran until mid-20s, that doesn't mean they won't dominate the World for 5+ years.

        But I can't help myself and apply some logic here and think Huddle is going to win.

        Yes, Hasay has been AMAZING on the roads. 2:20:57 peaks for itself.

        But let's not forget what Huddle has accomplished. 14:42, 30:13. Again 14:42/30:13.

        And while Huddle's marathon pb is 'only' 2:28:13, one needs to remember that in that race she was 3rd in NY - the same position that Hasay has finished in her 2 marathons.

        Huddle is SO much faster than Hasay at 5k and 10k, I think it carries over to the 13.1 distance. Hasay's 5k pb is 15:28. Her 10k pb is 31:39. She's just incredible at 26.2. But at 13.1 I just think Hasay is really good.

        Huddle is incredible at pretty much every distance she's ever run. 5k, 10k and while her pb in the marathon isn't amazing there is nothing in Huddle's background to suggest she won't project out to be a great a marathoner just like Shalane Flanagan who was great at 5k, 10k and 26.2. So if Hasay and Huddle end up being roughly equivalent at 26.2, I think Huddle will have the edge at 13.1.

        Hasay may win and she may get the AR but to project that she is going to "crush" Huddle when we know Huddle is in great shape is throwing logic to the wind.

      • Pretty damn cold but wind is holding off and clear skies should allow for a bit of warming up although temps at finish are still forecast to be in the 30s. I know focus here has been on Huddle/Hasay, but this men's 1/2 field is stacked! Hope ESPN3 coverage is decent.

      • I don't care which of these two finishes ahead of the other. I hope for a good race, and a fast race.

        I do care about accurate reporting in this sport, especially when you have the information easily at hand, and have provided it yourself, but apparently not actually read what you 'researched.' So, you might note, just for the sake of accuracy, that Huddle is 9-0 against Hasay in finals (10-0 overall). We don't usually count prelims in head to head competition stats, and we never count intermediate distance marks, such as a 3k intermediate time in a 5km race, as in that indoor 5k at Millrose.

        36 with a wind chill of 30 is "pretty damn cold?" Some place in New Hampshire a few days ago was like -38 with a wind chill of minus-85. THAT is "pretty damn cold!" These conditions are ideal.

      • Hope it's a little warmer. I support global warming, especially during the winter. Have they cleaned up the course from the flooding? Are they prepared for any false middle alerts? What about protesters? Will there be a massive police presence to deter the Oprah sympathizers?

        If Jordon or Molly win against a runner from a [email protected] country will they have to apologize for their white privilege?

        Not sure what the problem is, but these times and/or corresponding coverage is all wrong. It is currently 12:55 in Norway (Central European time zone) and there is no coverage. Also, 11:45 does not correspond to 7:45 US east.

      • Word on the street is that the great Earl Campbell will be running in the full 'thon this year.
        Apparently he became so disgusted with the current crop of NFL running backs lack of ability and toughness he took up long distance running. He also is boycotting the NFL for their poor response on dealing with the disrespectful kneelers.
        Because Earl is a legend in Houston he has received special permission from race organizers to use his normal punishing running style during the 'thon. For every 'thon runner he knocks over during the race Chevron will donate $1000 in gas coupons to a displaced resident from the floods.
