Some rough play early, had to restart. Lomong went down, Symmonds got cup up pretty bad in his knee. Seemed to me like a kind of relaxed and conservative effort from Lagat. Couldn't even tell that it was the last lap if I hadn't have seen the time. With 300 to go he started to move up a little but didn't really gun it until there was about 75 meters left. Still, look like he is in the shape he wants to be in for the Olympic year. It was stupid hot out today as well. Thoughts? Discussion?
