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.

This is getting pathetic. No one cares about these attention-seeking "fights".

Personally I care about attention seeking fighting because the attention is all I’m ever going to get. Can’t run fast so I might as well start drama.

Reed Fischer was listed on the entries but didn't compete, must've wanted to dodge Brandt. OAC will be Tinman Actually Elite.

Brandt should move to Boulder and join OAC. That would make this a little more spicy with them all being in the same city.

Why would a sponsor want to bring on someone who thinks it is dumb to promote their brand?

Exactly, they were all elite at first try.

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

False equivalency, they accidentally removed your basic sense at the waxing salon.

He was just exposing them and saying they're not actually elite and if they're "doing a lot" for the sport, they're not doing much more than any other group. Brandt was just speaking facts and goes out and runs decently quick. Well done.

Hoare has more potential than Drew Hunter

Hoare:

3:34.63 / 13:28 in his first 5k in 3+ years

Drew Hunter:

3:35.90 / 13:21

Head to head in a 5k, Hoare will win 9 out of 10 times because his kick

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.

That's elite… in 1988.

He got notice alright… for his looks while running DFL. I don't think he's been within spitting distance of making a USA team, and it's not like we send our best in the WC marathon.

How long do we wait for the media to profile Brandt or will we only know him for grandstanding from essentially the same subelite level? Because I can't hear anything he claims over what his actions are saying loudly.

I don’t see how he “exposed” them at all.

That’s not exposing anything. It’s just punching up for publicity.

Punching up or punching down? He just beat all their PRs and on top of that Tinman dropped out of the race. Not a good look from them.

Lol exactly. Anyone defending the tinmen also doesn’t look too good. Brandt is technically still in college and kicking their a$$e$. Good for Brandt.

Up.

Cant punch up to guys who are too scared to even race! keep making YouTube videos and "promoting" the sport.

The irony of this whole thing with Brandt is that he profiles as the prototypical sub-elite doesn't he? He made a living out of snagging back-end AA spots, running 13:30-13:50 5k's, and 28+ for the 10k.

Same for that new group (who's name I've already forgotten) who were on here a few weeks ago thumping their chests because they beat a few Tinman guys. The Tinman stuff isn't 100% my cup of tea, but whatever. There's a ton of high school kids who seem really into their approach, and anything that gets kids interested in the sport is a good thing in my opinion. So yeah, most of the Tinman guys are "sub-elite" but at least they're doing something cool with it. I'm not convinced there's a niche in this sport for guys who's branding is basically "we're sub-elite and we're also jerks". Maybe I'm wrong.

I can't think of anything less interesting or likeable than a 13:35 dude who feels the need to dump on 13:45 guys on social media because he can't handle his own insecurities or whatever.
