because that's the fact
we are talking elites
- rudy 1'42.1A converts to 1'42.2 - what's he run sea-level ??
- isiah 13'09A converts to 12'50 - what's he run ??
elites are who we are interested in & their altitude times convert well
so why are you wasting my time ???
you clearly don't know how or appreciate the conversion mechanism
in a trials race where he didn't even look at the clock but whupped host of 26'43 & 26'50 guys
same nonsense was spouted about no guy apart from kennster having broken 12'50 in years & only handful ever done
i said 1/2 dozen+ guys coud break 12'50 & posters laughed
then 1/2 dozen do it one race !
same nonsense about 26'30
admittedly there may only be 2 or 3 currently capable of it, including kennster, but there are 1/2 dozen guys capable now of 26'30 - 26'40
if his coach says 26'30/26'35, i'll take his word over some nobody on a bb
