Katelyn Tuohys downfall is something to behold. She had Lebron James level of hype coming out of high school and first few years of college and has since faded into the woodwork
She won 4 individual NCAA titles and is 22 years old.
Canova and others have time and time again talked about how a fast last lap isn’t going to change your recovery. Feels good to finish strong, and they’ll be just fine for the final.
Why is no one just jogging it in? A lot of these women are so far ahead of sixth place, but they're still kicking it in like time matters. Do they not care about saving energy?
Just striding it out after a brief tune-up workout for the top women. 3 days is plenty of rest.

It wasn't just last lap. She ran last K in 2:44. Silly.
Valby will bring the heat in the Final and Front Run for Standard.
Are you really picky Valby to beat Karissa? That’s nuts.
Karissa looked great but I would not say she is a lock by any means. I thought Valby looked great too, sweating and grimacing a bit but played pacemaker the whole race until last lap and clearly coasted it in with a lot more in tank. 3rd spot will be battled for. Also - Roe could tap into running on PURE HATE in the final (after losing so many races to Valby) and pull off something incredible.
It’s another one of those Eugene sellouts. It takes a little bit of creative counting to get there but if you fiddle with the data enough you’ll find the stadium is actually packed.
This probably works well for Natosha in the 10k to not have to run another round of 5k, and the opposite for Schweizer (fast prelim in the heat, though she'll still easily make the 5k team with ESP and Cranny). I'm still happy with my 10k picks: Kelati, Valby, Natosha
Did KT drop to second to last for a short period because Cranny launched like a rocket or get jostled or ??? She came back and looked solid enough but I missed part of this because Peacock sucks. Before things cut out she looked controlled and nothing showed in her face in what was probably not a fast pace (for almost anyone in that heat).

I don’t think it’s completely “nuts” to think Valby can finish 3rd because she’ll make the final look quite different than the first round, and I’m guessing she’ll finish 4th. Roe though? Sorry, as much as I’d like to see it, zero chance whatsoever.
