Don't have any desire to predict a time...cause god knows what the pacing will be like, as well as that 4th km that ventolin loves to mention.
Going to say Rupp in 2nd or 3rd if the race is at or around 13 min. If it's under that...we will see just how fit Rupp is, but much faster than 13 would definitely suprise me.
Good indoor season, and should presumably be somewhat rested and in good shape here. He has closed slower 5ks in 52.x (Trials), so obviously has speed as good as pretty much anyone, and I don't think any of the Kenyans can close as quick as that of a slow pace except Lagat. Farah obviously can as well. Jeilan maybe can, but I'm still not entirely convinced of his shape, and he appears to be better at 10,000m.
How fast did Rupp close last year at Pre in his 12:58?
