I really only have time to keep up with sort of following the top of the sport, people contending in OG and WC finals and maybe a few others making US teams for those events. I'm not surprised to be unaware of tiffs in the sub-elite ranks and do not understand why that would interest anyone other than themselves. Maybe it's the type of minds that get bored with winners and champions, LRC for some reason is a magnet for a lot of weirdos.

Or maybe elites were once sub-elites and people like to know what the next cohort is going to look like.

Nah quit reaching, I looked and none were even collegiate elites.

Exactly.

Exactly, they were all elite at first try.

All of them ran sub 13:13/3:35 in their first 5k/1500.

Name 3 elites who were once sub elites and you get a prize. There are none. I guarantee that you will not be able to name 3 that you will get a consensus on. Real Elites were elite college runners. No runner who was a sub elite for a few years after colkege went onto become elite.

How about the Droddy guy? He came to notice at the '16 trails I believe, after being "average" college runner, then went on to run some pretty good times like 61 half and 2:11 marathon.

You don't crush people by getting 8th in some race they aren't in. OP just trying to grind axes.

At the Under Armour Sunset Tour #2, Brandt ran a big PR in the 10k. His time of 28:22.99 is faster than every Tinman runner with the exception of Connor Winter(1 second faster at 28:21). Brandt is 3 years younger than Winter.

After Brandt called out Tinman on strava, Brandt backs it up.

The correct name for this thread is "Tinman goes home devastated"

When you beat all of their PRs (except one) after publicly calling them out, I think it makes a big statement. The punches landed.

Also the tinman guys are hiding in their basement and aren't showing up for races. Brandt goes out and puts down a good time, while Tinman guys just upload dozens of videos of practices on youtube. Respect for Brandt for making no excuses and putting up good results. Shame on tinman for not racing.

OK. Some guy ran a faster time than some other guys, but not all of them, in a random race they weren't in. Why do you care so much about any of these people?

What punches landed?

"Why would a fan of this sport care about the race results of top athletes in the nation?"

I am admittedly disappointed that the Tinman guys have hardly done any racing this summer. I know Parsons has had some achilles issues this year but after Hunter ran 3:57 at altitude I thought we'd be seeing him actually racing. Brian Barraza (3:59) and Joey Berriatua (4 flat high) have been alright but nothing special. Brian ran faster indoors like 3-4 years ago. Reed ran a pretty meh 5k recently in like 13:43? I thought he'd be at least in 13:30ish shape by now, especially after that super impressive half marathon from this winter. That being said, this was a good run by Brandt but I'd like to see him actually race the Tinmen. Wasn't even the top collegiate in this race (a good 15 seconds/almost 100 meters behind Conner Mantz). Hopefully there are more races coming??

You have no idea what you talking about.

Yeah Mantz was very impressive. I'm not saying Brandt is the next Galen Rupp.

I'm sure Brandt would also love to race the Tinmen but Tom Schwartz apparently injured everyone. The ball isn't rolling, it's deflated.
