Webb's Time(Don't look if you want to watch the video)

[Walt Murphy]

He did it--3:46.91

[Half Miler]

YEE-HAW!!!!

(even though I lost the contest)

[bhall]

Impressive.

[Django]

Wow!! The suspense was killing me. The real Alan Webb showed up. Thanks Walt.

[Charley Shaffer]

My guess was in the most optimistic (fastest) 11 percentile of Walt's contest, and Webb's new AR landed him in the upper 13 percentile. 87% of you misunderestimated him.

[Half Miler]

misunderestimated

Nice Bushie homage there!

[jeremyp]

Fantastic! I knew he could do it weather permitiing, and that obviously held. 8th fastest of all time =3.30.00. Anybody have lap times ?

[George P.]

In a sport that sometimes suffers from over-hype, it isn't often that someone actually delivers the goods. Well done, Alan!

Think of the turn around for AW from last year to this!!! I'll let this be encouragement for those of us who are languishing this year in our running like I am....there's always hope.

[79.]

Really impressed...
He can beat the old 1500m AR very soon.

there certainly is, if you are a mega talent.. for the rest of us over the hill nobodythefans.. hope is the only hope.

I thought with the right conditions he could get down below 3:47. I predicted 3:46.50, so he was just above it. In my book, anytime you surpass Seb Coe's PB, you've just elevated yourself into "great" status.

Webb, you wonderful enigma, whats next? Nothin would surprise me now, nothin.

[tm71]

wow i was off by exactly 1.2 sec. a lot of us under estimated him. i hope he can translate this great run with a gold medal in a big meet.

"Whats next?" Given Webb's "track" record, maybe a 3:38 1500 -- but there I go again, a congenital skeptic.
