[Atticus]

Most will want a 'tactical' (euphemism for 'slow') race, but I'm guessing someone will intuit the obvious (I ain't got the kick) and Pre it.

I'll say right around 27-flat with the 'obvious' three being Fisher, Kinkaid and Klecker or EBor. I nominate Mantz as the pace-setter.

[Retread]

I'll go with Fischer (obvious), Kipchirchir and Bor in about 27:20.

[aaronk]

Fisher is so dominant, timewise, that he could control the pace to his liking, and win any way he wants!

[Atticus]

Fisher is so dominant, timewise, that he could control the pace to his liking, and win any way he wants!

He can certainly win off any pace, but he can't control the pace if someone wants to run hard and he'd rather not.

[Juicy News]

Kincaid, Fisher and Klecker

The problem is that I don't think Mantz is fast enough to drop the BTC guys. That should not stop him from front running, because he has even less chance in a kicker's race.

[RunningInCircles]

I'm picking Fisher, Kincaid, and McGorty.

Teamwork makes the dream work. (Or something like that.)

[Trickstat]

I'm picking Fisher, Kincaid, and McGorty.

Teamwork makes the dream work. (Or something like that.)

GH's post above suggests that McGorty isn't running.

[TWalsh]

My top 5 picks:

1. Fisher, 2. Kincaid, 3. McGorty, 4. Bor, 5. Klecker

[gh]

GH's post above suggests that McGorty isn't running.

are you reading the "nr" wwhich means "not ranked last year" as "not running"? He wouldn't be on our formchart if it were the latter

[26mi235]

GH's post above suggests that McGorty isn't running.

So picking him third is an indication of 'not running'? the dots go to nr, not ranked, which the last column.

[Steele]

Rupp ran 27:25 in 2012 with Ritz pushing the pace late in the race, next fastest is Lomong's 27:30. I would be very surprised if this race went 27 flat, even factoring shoes. None of the BTC guys need to push, they can just sit and kick. Mantz' PR is 27:41?

My guess, it goes 27:30ish again.

nice night for distance running
