I what he studies and how well that's going. If his performances continue, he has a future professionally. However, I know a lot of people, including myself, stigmatize east African imports as ringers brought in to take advantage of the NCAA system instead of utilize our collegiate educational system. Too often, this is the case.

People need to stop talking about this being a great race. It was the most boring to watch, ever. It's an impressive performance, but the guy just ran away from the field and there was no to be found for the individual title.

Emily Sisson update on Thanksgiving Day 2009 - She's won the Missouri State XC Championship by more than a minute over all divisions. Foot Locker Mid West is on Saturday at Kenosha, Wisconsin. Clear, dry, 50 degrees (nothing like the recent Big East Championships!). I think Emily is setting up for a great Foot Locker National in San Diego.

Right now I wouldn't buy a pair of Under Armor shoes, other brands have my loyalty. But when it comes to apparel, UA has some of the best stuff avalible. I bought my first cold gear years ago and it was by far the best stuff I've ever spent money on. I would love to check out some of the new stuff they've made.

Jenny was in perfect shape and totally healthy. Yet something brought her down. We're assuming its in the old grey matter between her ears. Thats why this is such a perfect opportunity to determine what exactly that was and hopefully prevent it from happening to her or other runners in the future.

I recall something Tom O'Hara, America's top miler, said to me many years after the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. This was the Olympics which gave us Gold medals from Billy Mills in the 10K and Bob Schul in the 5K. Unheard of, before or since. Tommy was the indoor mile record holder and was was a heavy favorite to medal high in the 1500. Two days before the finals, following a light interval workout, the New Zealand coach, Arthur Lydiard, walked over to him. AL said something about Peter Snell, his runner, doing 8x220 in 25 seconds with a minute rest, earlier that morning. This may or may not have been true. And then he stared right into Tommy's eyes for about 30 seconds. Tommy told me "He looked into my soul. I felt totally unhinged". Tommy was one of those fearless Irish kids from the streets of Chicago. For something like a few words and a stare to rattle him is quite stunning. And he remembered this vividly 25 years after the fact. So, would love for Jenny and her coaches to take this one step further and link up with some Sports Psychologists in Boulder or at the Olympic Training center in Colorado Springs, CO. I don't think this will ever happen to Jenny again. Thats why this is such a unique opportunity.

Are you serious "That Guy"?
Chelanga beat him by 33 seconds, and your point about how "he has trained for a long time somewhere else" because he is kenyan is wrong, he has only been running for 4 years, he played ping pong before that. Derrick ran 13:29 on the track for 5k, Sammy's split 5k on a xc course was 14:09! And then he preceded to run another 14:30. And just because Derrick has ran fast all year and beat Sam at pre-nats doesnt mean crap, Sammy just knows how to peak at the right time. Dont try to put Chelanga down, he ran one of the most amazing races i have ever seen run. He absolutely dominated Chris Derrick on monday.)

YOU DO KNOW THAT DERRICK DIDN'T FINISH 2ND, RIGHT?
SAM DOMINATED THE ENTIRE FIELD. NOT JUST DERRICK.
DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT RACING OR DO YOU JUST LIKE TALKING OUT OF YOUR ARSE, HUN???

Barringer is a great talent, she's just terribly unattractive. If she was eye candy, like Sarah Bowman, she would probably be a media darling. Too bad--shame on you to our people in control of the American media! Hopefully, her talent will force our media to give her the wonderful credit she deserves, as she beat a top field of our so-called best American milers (e.g., Rowbury, Willard, etc.). Go, Jenny!!

d1 that is how the age thing works, wasn't talking about d 2, and grow the heck up, how does a 26 year old have an advantage if they have never been a competitive runner before in their life, grow up and train better, i forgot, she does have an advantage, she has a family so she isn't going out and partying every night like the younger girls are

Just wanted to clarify for Ks that I meant the fact that she did an interview at all was an indication that her body wasn't "shutting down." If you can kick at the end and then do an interview you did not just suffer from exhaustion to the point where you collapsed. I've known runners who really collapsed and they either couldn't get up or walked it in and went to the hospital.

First of all, if anyone listended to mcdouglas interview, Sammy ran his 10k record off 50 miles a week. I dont care how good derrick is now or how good he will be; sam chelenga is the better runner and will only lose to derrick when/if hes not 100% such as pre nats. Sam made the entire national field look like fools monday, that just shouldnt happen. Derrick was never the favorite, he simply beat the favorite on the favorites bad day, then idiots labled derrick as the new favorite. I knew this was going to happen without doubt.

Some Flotrack race coverage gets slammed b/c it's too shaky but the camera work on the start of this was at least as bad...more proof that Flotrack rocks

I am shooting to try Navy Buds training I hate to be a jerk but they would not count any of those as a push up you have got to come all the way up no head dipping and you need to lock out the elbow's. The arched rest at 90 they would have told you to stop and stand up.
