I don't know why you're saying I'm all over the place, and I don't know why you're saying that I'm so "creative." Here are my sources for the three statements that you're taking issue with:
1. Bill Rodgers, "Marathoning" (1980), at p. 140
"I know he [Henry Rono] has forty-nine second quarter speed."
2.
http://www.letsrun.com/forum/flat_read.php?thread=1390583&page=7Henry Rono, answering the question of what he could have run in the 1500/mile:
"1,500m 3:28 min,1 mile 3:45min"
3. Henry Rono, "Olympic Dream" (2007), at p. 51
Regarding the 1977 NCAA Indoor Championships: "In Detroit, Chaplin told me I was going to run the two-, three-, and one-mile races -- all in two days. . . . I ran the two-mile with an NCAA record time and then won the three-mile with a course-best time. However, my exhaustion from these two victories made me hesitant about running an event [the mile] that I had not prepared for." (On the letsrun thread that I cited earlier, Henry indicated that he ran the mile fifty minutes after the two-mile.)
So, malmo, maybe you're more knowledgeable about Henry Rono's abilities and career than either Bill Rodgers or Henry Rono is. Maybe Henry was at least three seconds slower than Bill Rodgers "knew" he was, and maybe Henry was not capable of running 1,500 meters within ten seconds of what he thought he could have run, and maybe Henry never ran the three-mile race that he insists he ran. But those disagreements are between you, on the one hand, and Bill Rodgers and Henry Rono, on the other hand. It has nothing to do with my "creativity," and it has nothing to do with my being "all over the place."
