Give that winning money to charity as I wish bernard lagat was in that race!” with 2 others going sub-4, it was a pretty strong field. and the event was for charity to begin with. i am sure the mere fact leo was there raised way more money than expected. leo is still early in the game...don't give him grief. reply

#6	The Win Machine May 23 at 9:32pm just got back from the mile. manzano was near the front the whole time and had the lead going into the final lap. with a few guys on his heels, he just flipped a switch on the backstretch and was GONE. if there's a video of the race, its definitely kick of the week material. the rabits also did a good job, but one other thing i was impressed by were the way adam perkins and leo manzano looked. they were lean and ripped. they looked fast standing still! reply
