WHO's GOING? I KNOW I AM. I AM BETTING KHALID KANNOUCHI MAKES DARING COMEBACK AND WINS THE TRIALS. AS FOR LOCAL STARS, I AM GOING WITH WARDIAN RUNNING 2:17ISH______________M
Interesting that nobody picked ABDI. That guy is the best runner in the USA now. Hall, with his A game can crush it but ABDI has the experience. If Kannouchi is healthy, he is clearly the cream of the crop. Sell can win if the other top runners falter, make a tactical error or are not at their fittest. Meb may have had his day. Dark horse among the elites is Pete Gilmore.
I'm going with Hall, Culpepper and Brandon Leslie. As for local guys I gotta go with it being close between Raabe and Frey (is he still local?) with Raabe edging out. There's always Post too to mix things up.
Raabe certainly has the talent but Wardian has the experience. If he rests from now until the trials you never know. If he really lets the leg muscles recover he might be able to easily knock 5 minutes off of his PR. Brandon Leslie is a cool story__________M
I thought I was...and want to, but I have a wedding to go to that day. Bummer.
ReplyDeleteIt should be the greatest running event of this era.
Meb is out. I think we'll see a trio of Sell, Hall and Ritz...you heard it here first.
I might go... I'll know for sure later this month. Keep me in the loop.
ReplyDeleteditto for me as well. I want to tailgate
ReplyDeleteSell is a tough sell.
ReplyDeleteWatch out for Carney and his Irish Army

I mispoke...Meb is not out of the OT, rather another race. I jumped the gun...
ReplyDeleteMy new prediction is Meb, Sell, Ritz
