Bekele vs. Lagat

[bekeselassie]

Okay people!

I know we talked about this recently, but with the race only two days away I had to rehash it.

Predictions all around. Time, place, spoilers, you name it.

Per Dr. Jay, will we see an intermission in which gh will attempt to score on Kobe, Shaq, or Lebron?

As for me, I have to go with Bekele (shocked?). 3:49. :shock:

[SQUACKEE]

If the pace is fast Bek takes it in 3:52. If the pace is slow Lagat.

The great SquackSwami has spoken! :roll:

[Thomas]

It could be a very interesting mtachup. I predict 3:51.7 - Lagat by a half a stride.

Assuming both are in shape, Legat.

[marknhj]

Lagat - whatever the pace is.

I would normally pick Lagat, but Bekele has not had to live with a newborn baby for the past few weeks. As anyone who's ever been through this experience can tell you, it can disrupt one's normal routines. That injects an unusual element of uncertainty, and I'm not going to venture a prediction under these circumstances.

AThe $64,000 question that remains unanswered: why did Bekele pull out of Karlsruhe last weekend? Easiest guess is that he's nursing something. (And it ain't Bernard's baby!)

Don't know about the winner, but I predict they won't run under 3:55.

[DrJay]

I'll pick that little guy Bekele on that little roller derby track, and gh beats Kobe in a nail-biter H-O-R-S to H-O-R-S-E.

Thanks so much for the imagery, gh! :x

Slight calf injury.

[SQUACKEE]

Beks limping, :x Lagat is sleep derprived. What was once a great race will now come down to a couple of chubby americans in a photo finish in 4:03! :cry:
