I didn't know there was a Fantasy Running online game you could play AFTER the actual racing occured. What league are you in? Is it looking for more members?
They are thinking of USTAF. There was no reason for her to try to grind the 5000m out. Hopefully just resting.
No, c’mon. Running this race is not impacting per performance at nationals. Let’s have the dust settle and see if she’s been ill or something, but if she fit and then scratches what is likely her last collegiate track race ever….that would be sad.
Maybe she felt ill, or the heat got to her. Someone will report on it.
How is it disrespectful? I said outright that the 1500/5000 was near impossible and that she was likely giving away a near certain title in the 5000m by trying it. She beat Valby doubling at regionals, and I think it is perfectly fair that a fully rested Tuohy could have handled a 15:30 and a 1:10 close. The 1500m is a different sort of race. But the 5000m is her wheelhouse. Does not change the fact that it did not happen.
If you don’t see how it’s disrespectful to the actual NCAA champion to claim another runner would have won but….then I can’t help you. I’m not saying Valby is better than Tuohy in general, or that Tuohy’s career is over, but she had nothing in the 1500 tonight. Did you expect that race from her? No you did not. Tuohy tonight was way off her usual for whatever reason and just assuming she would have won the 5000 is a lame opinion, one that I’m sure Tuohy herself does not share. Respect the competition and do better next time.
Agreed. Disappointing night. But it is perfectly reasonable to think that her attempt at the 1500 cost her the 5000m title. Does not change what happened, but it is certainly not unreasonable.
I don’t hate Tuohy, but I can’t stand her myopic cheering section. So, if it takes abject failure by Tuohy to devastate Astro, Semi, etc., I can live with that. May her bad streak continue. Fat chance at USAs, little buddy.
Wow, that’s such a mature response. Says way more about you as a person than Tuohy or her fans.And way to kick a great athlete when they are down. The mark of a garbage person that’s for sure.
"mature response" and "garbage person" cannot reasonably exist in the same post
Yes I will go with Tuohy would have won another national title if she had only run the 5000m. If you want to try to extrapolate from the 1500m, enjoy. But even assuming that she is worn out, a 15:30 was not going to beat her.

Nope. My point is perfectly sound, which is that she gave up a near layup national title in the 5000m to try the 1500m/5000m double. Sorry but the counterargument appears to be that she is totally shot and that a 15:30 was beyond her capabilities. Dont think I am making that controversial a point.

Why don’t you show the comment I responded to, I see you cut it out. The poster said “may her bad streak continue”. WTF?? Yeah that’s a garbage person. I stand by what I said.
