He doesnt seem to take alot of the postive things in to context. I think he has a long ways to go with this attitude...if he wants to go pro.

David I have been to all the UW indoor meets this year and seen both of your races, I know exactly where you are coming from. You made a valid point in your interview. Anyone who is trying to go pro should expect to be winning and running fast times. These wussies complaining about your comments are a bunch of morons, don't need to apologize because anyone in your position would say something like you said, or worse. Good luck with the training man, keep working hard and I guarantee someone will give you a shot sooner or later.

Sorry if I came off as disrespectful to college athletes. I was one as well not too long ago. I was just pissed about losing this race, and got interviewed immediately afterwards. If I had raced against pros and got outkicked both times, I'd still be pissed as well. I think another part of it is just that since I had graduated, I feel like I should have moved on to the "next level" so to speak. But, I should know that there will always be great collegiate athletes that can do great things. So no offense to the NCAA, all of you are doing some big things and raising the bar for US distance running!

David, I don't know why you have to bash college kids like that bro. Just like the other guys said, you will ALWAYS get beat by some college guys. You honestly think you have anything over Rupp, Fernandez, Ulrey? Or ME for that matter? Get real dude, just train hard, race smart, and be happy with the results. Crying isn't going to get you nowhere.

David,

I'm sorry for my earlier comments. I thought you HAD gone pro. I empathize the difficulty in balancing school and running. I'll be pulling for you.

What gives him the notion he shouldn't loose to college kids is beyond me! It's not like he was beaing ALL college kids when he was in college anyway!

Maybe You should be happy and stop making excuses! Take away the positives. Stop searching for excuses and being so caught up with college guys. If you were over seas you'd be losing to 16,17, 18 yrs old pros. Runners are runners respect the game and do the best you can (tone jovial)

dude just because kids are in college doent mean they are always beatable, pro's get beat by college kids all the time. Show some respect. You PR'd be happy, be realistic about it, its febuary! The SLOW tyson mile on friday night, a 1:57 negative split would have got 3rd!

Who says everyone has to start working as soon as they graduate. He likes running and he's very good at it. Him going pro is a now or never thing so he's going for it when he can.

Seriously, this guy went to Berkeley and he is worried about a running career? What did this guy major in? Latin? Get your priorities straight.

Facilities for strength work? There's entire websites on just bodyweight resistance work that will kick your butt. Weight room? A garage, a bench, some dumbells and a horizontal bar and weights from a yard sale. Professional? And you're not doing upper body work? I work for a living. I do my track work at lunch and weights in the barn after doing the dinner dishes. No excuse! Look at Shalane Flanagan and work just half as hard. I'll bet you improve.

It's February man! If you're not outkicking guys in May and June, then worry. Keep building the strength and that ultimately will carry you through.
