Is Krumm the wabbit?

[schmke]

Is Krumm the wabbit?

That was my thought when I saw the start list. And from the several races he's wabbited earlier this year, he's done a good job.

asbel wants redemption for berlin

that means shoot for 3'28 even 3'27

i think this coud be a fantastic run for him & no more sit'n'kick for a 3'31

With a seasonal best of 3:49.70 (and that ain't a mile!) I'd say that's a pretty safe assumption.

It didn't look to me like he was in that kind of shape in Berlin. Although I certainly agree that he along with several others is due for a fast time.

[eldrick]

he was in kenyan champs

cruised past choge/keitany like they were standing still

Sorry, Kuha & Co. These rabbited 1500s are such snorefests compared to the exciting racing in Berlin.

[eldrick]

seriously big guy

a wabbited zurich won in 3'33 !!!

excreable :cry:

[Bruce Kritzler]

Think results are wrong as Manzano and Lamong are flip-flopped?
No one wanted to run with the rabbits.
Kiprop still in his funk.

Manzano said on the bus afterwards that he just didn't feel right from early on in the race.

That 1500 was dull, no question. I thought the WC race was forgettable, too, regardless of how much wild sprinting took place in the last straightaway. The large part of the problem now, quite frankly, is that the talent/charisma level in this event has been at a very low ebb since El G's retirement.
