Now that Doha is over, time to look forward to this epic matchup. Only six days until "The Thrilla in Manilla Part Deux" or something very far off. Get your predictions in before this thread gets too busy, too neglected, or deleted.

Emma will run 2:55:23

Will we see Alberto riding a bike with a mustache while Rupp is on the course?

If any of the three Duck ladies decides to declare an early No Show this week we can plug in Galen as a last minute fill-in. Although, the likelihood of Galen pulling a DNS might be high since Alberto will be MIA and not be able to guide his prodigy with important coaching wisdom, along with supplying ice-hat, pollen mask, or holy shirt.

Adding to the pre-race hype, hysteria, and frenzy, the contest organizers have taken the audacious step to allow Jordan, Alexi, and Emma to enter the contest. We will be eagerly waiting their time forecasts for themselves and their fellow Duck alumni.

Get your predictions in soon before this thread blows up!!!

Alexi is getting poetically fruity for the Chi 'Thon.

a marathon is like an orange: takes work to begin but then wonderful, refreshing, messy, delicious. good shared. good alone.

Bahahahaha this is gold

I just might vote for Trump because of this

Jordan 2:22:25 - the wind will blow her around too much.

Not much for motivational IG posts unless there's a mention of running on Pure Hate.

Jordan needs to watch Kenenisa Bekele run Berlin this year for any inspiration.

It seems everyone is waiting until the last minute to get predictions in.

Didn't your mother ever tell you to not to procrastinate?

No way. Emma is not going to break 3h.

I think you might have meant 4 hours for Emma. I'm being somewhat optimistic for Emma and Alexi time-wise. I would expect Jordan to be motivated to get close to her time from two years ago, anything far from that will put more women in the mix heading into the trials.

Jordan - 2:24

Alexi - Eats too much pre-race beef liver, unable to find a porta potty and sh*ts herself at mile 14

Emma - Goes MIA after the 2nd timing mat. Found 2 days later naked on the L, drinking a pumpkin spice latte and barking at commuters.

3 hrs total

Yes, there are other non-Ducks running. Emma Bates looks fit for the Chi-'Thon.

Why Not? She has run 4:18 for 1500 which shows she is decent (Not Talking World Class, but compared to other average runners) if she has been putting in 12-15 miles a day, with an 18-23 miler once every 3 weeks it should not be a problem, Remember as a former Oregon runner she is likely getting excellent advice from either her coaches or friends/former teammates who are very knowledgeable in running and training for running.

Alexi is not on the elite women's list but will be an official pacer. Very brave of her to help other competitors reach their time goals while she takes in the bravie adulation along the course.
