Alistair Cragg Interview : Speakers & Interviews

btw, he's right about Golf, you can do something competitive, outdoors, and not running related so it doesn't effect training.

I'll give you a Buck for it

or suBmit- somebody swapped my buttons again.

don't sugmit anything

winning is like a disease

lol i love his dog

Not trying to take away from your performances, You still rock I just had to put my point out there.

Ok so yes he did beat bekele before thats great and all but he beat him after his wife died and bekele kicked a whole lap early, when realizing his mistake he didnt know how to react thus Cragg took advantage of this and kicked right past him. That was more than 2 years ago though. Almost 4 right? Another thing could many people beat Bekele at his pace intensity. Basically: In a really fast race how many atheletes could really hang with Bekele? Gebreselie? or Sihine? but the Bekele would more than likely outkick both of them like he always does. Bekele can be beat in a "race" but in a non tactics race very unlikely.

okay, somehow my paragraphs got mixed around in that post. 1st should be 2nd and 2nd should be first and the T, at the bottom should have been at the very top.

After NYC it will be interesting to see how al bonces back, but if he gets in a few races and starts winning again you really can't count him out, he's a great racer and a fierce competitor. I hope that Beijing is the place where he finally shows what everyone who's ever been around him knows he has in him as a distance runner.
I think what alistair was trying to hint at in the interview by saying that it was a strange situation but that he felt that bekele was tired was that yeah bekele miscounted laps but maybe it was because he was tired. Alistair was there with two laps to go and then bekele kicked and put a little on alistair but he was tired and had he not miscounted laps then perhaps alistair would've beaten him anyway.
T,

his brother is one of the coolest guys in the Dallas running scene, he's the mayor of dallas running.

when he beat bekele, didn't bekele forget how many laps there were and he stopped running? tyson indoor meet 3000m i think.

that thing is sweet!

I hope he has a great season

have you got any videos of david moorcroft winning the pacific conference games 5000m in 1981? Has anyone got any videos of 1981 pacific conference games in christchurch?

is a cool dude. I hope he does awesome this summer!

that dog is awesome
