I don’t get all the vitriol that Tuohy gets. She just finished college, had an injury and had a good race. What am I missing here. Are these Valby or Andrews bots in these Touhy threads?
I was at the event. Looked like a business trip for Tuohy. she ran with the pack for a while, took the lead, nobody went with her and she cruised. for those saying she didn't close hard, well, she didn't need to. it wasn't a time trial. she didn't look tired at all when she finished, clearly had a lot left in the tank. i think this was about getting her racing legs back and for what it's worth it was successful.
look forward to watching her compete in Europe, probably go thru some growing pains against elite runners, but that's the only way you get better.

It was also hot and uncharacteristically humid for that area of SoCal. Easily sub 15 in better conditions and with better competition. Has Hassan run as planned, Tuohy would have run 14:55.

yes, very humid, even after the sun set. she could have gone sub 15 if necessary, but there was no need to.

My thoughts as well. In contrast of the pained expression when struggling at the trials this was a more typical ‘run in the park’ effort. She typically closes in sub 70 style, even when finishing a 10K. Her 15 close a couple of years ago was done in 63, same as Morgan’s dramatic close in the 15 last night. With better competition this should have been a PR effort. A sub 15 is around the corner…with elite competition she will be heading to the 40’s and 50’s and longer term to a 14:30 level. Her goal is to join the Monson, Morgan, Cranny level as soon as her body allows.

There is an interview done by Runnerspace where she says something to the effect that she is not in her best shape ever. I think 15:07 is pretty close to where her fitness was that night. I would expect it to improve some over the next 2 months, to what level I have no idea.
