- See Less -Alberto Salazar has coached several of today's top American distance runners. Currently Salazar is working with runners Dan Brown, Adam Goucher and Kara Goucher among others at Nike. He also coached Galen Rupp to the high school American record in the 5k.
Salazar is best known for his own running career, most notably his performances in the New York City Marathons during the early 1980s, and his American track records of 13:11.93 in the 5,000m and 27:25.61 in the 10,000m.
From 1980 through 1982, Salazar won three New York City Marathons. His first-ever marathon, the 1980 New York City race, resulted in a 2:09:41 win. This performance was the fastest American debut and the second-fastest marathon ever recorded by a U.S runner at that time. Salazar was a member of the United States' Olympic marathon team in 1984. Alberto Salazar was coached by the legendary Bill Dellinger at the University of Oregon. He graduated in 1981.
And how was Utah Uprising correct???
“No, I'm not psychic, just smarter than you. ”
"If she wasn't Kara..." Correct grammar in this would be "If she weren't Kara..."
"Guess what, there's 6 ladies with pr's faster..." This should read, "Guess what? There are 6 ladies with prs faster..."
"What do you think there chances are?" Wow, this is getting ridiculous..."What do you think their chances are?"
"That's what I thought, logic and reason leave you speechless." Again, inappropriate use of punctuation. You should have a semicolon in place of your comma.
In the end, your comment was quite ironic. Let's leave petty arguing to the letsrun boards, shall we?
If she wasn't Kara, you guys wouldn't be giving her a chance. Guess what, there's 6 ladies with pr's faster than hers. What do you think there chances are? That's what I thought, logic and reason leave you speechless. BA-BYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who will win?
I'm willing to bet Kara will not DNF. . .
