He had every intention to do so, but wasn't up to it.

He is progressing nicely.

Official final times?

Lagat 12:54.50, Solinsky 12:55.75, 3rd and 4th. God I Love Predicting.

So, how'd I do?

Lagat's experience really helped him get in position to tke down the record. Solinsky was getting bumped around a bit towards the end as runners jockeyed for position. Awesome run by both!

Official-

Lagat- 12:54.12

Solinsky - 12:56.66

US distance running is just getting sick the last year or two. Such a great thing to see.

I'm not a big Lagat fan but I think this is great. This crop of guys is going to push eachother under 12:50 in the next couple years potentially.

--Blame it on Salazar.

My damn feed cut out at 700m to go as well...

Whew, too bad Lagat couldnt' get the W. He went for it though, and still got the AR.

Who woulda thought solinski would be a 12:56 and 26:59 guy 3 months ago?

Kipchoge is fried? 13:09. chepkok ran ok, though, so maybe just a bad night for Kipchoge.

Notice the name Salel? That's the 2nd?3rd? placer from the 10000 at Stanford where Solinsky ran his big race.
