It would be interesting to see what ventolin would have thought had Shannon run 1:59 - "she is peaking too soon, blah, blah, blah." Gotta love the monday morning qb-ing by ventolin asserting that the race was a mistake.
Ridiculous to read most of the crap spewed on these threads about people about whom the poster knows no intimate details of their training, etc. All the prediction threads are laughable unless youre there with the athlete in question.
