Olympic fever

I know that the Track season officially starts today and everyone is focusing on the "time trials" . However, the olympics are this summer and the trials are currently taking place to pick the US team.

Last November the marathon was held in New York and Ryan Hall owned the field. His 5k splits looked like this :

" 16:44, 15:41, 15:27, 15:12, 15:05, 14:48, 14:28. Yes that's right a 14:28 from 30 to 35k. Hall pumped his fist, pointed to the heavens, and waved to the crowd the final mile savoring the incredible run and still ran a 15 minute 5k pace for the final 7.2k (14.56 from 35 to 40k) "

If he can stay healthy leading up to Beijing he has a legit chance to medal. Which isn't something we have been able to say in this country for a long long time.

Just to be clear, Ryan owned the field in the marathon back in November. He did just race in San Diego, however, but finished 5th. You can keep up to date with Ryan and his performances at this site:
