German Fernandez » German Fernandez Oklahoma State outdoor debut 2011 Texas Relays

I'll always route you German, keep your head up and keep working hard!

he seems to have matured throughout all of his struggles, seems to have a more positive outlook on a bad race than the guy who reportedly missed the trophy ceremony at 2009 ncaas xc because he was off crying in a bathroom

rather than take the race out from the start he should have noticed the splits were slow for the first couple of 200s there were times everywhere at about 600 he should have took the race.

there is no way you are going to kick on 800 runners with 200 meters to go off a 4:30 pace

that's atleast what i would have done with german's ability

"Thank you Mr. Prefontaine!"

Yea, that is kind of "kamikaze old school" but hey, you got a better way, then please..... please go right ahead and suggest it! Please do!!!! Because whatever he's doing now, aint work'n!

Look, German needs to run a "German Style" race!
First of all, triple check those stupid shoes before the gun goes off!
Then, take the damn lead right from the frick'in start and pop that first 200m easy under 30!
Then, try to keep it go'in and don't look back!!!!
If somebody comes up on your shoulder to challenge, then accelerate and hold them off !!!
Just keep do'in it until you hit the tape! That's the only way dude!!!
Don't try - " Oh, I think I"ll just run in the pack here for a little while and get comfy and then work my way up".
We'll dude, that's not YOU, it's never been your style and that's simply not going to work!
Take the frick'in race by the balls, like you do when you're at your best and just crush god damn thing!!!!!

There comes a time where excuses just look like excuses. It becomes lame. You've got to make your own fate.

when will people learn to tape shoes on during races?

Haters gonna hate.

Go, German, go!
