I hope the time was remarkable - because if it wasn't - this is one seriously over-hyped performance.
Final time 1:37.47. It looked a lot better than it really was. If those fractions that are listed are true then the first half mile was run in a glacial 52 and change. I totally agree with you on this one. Analysis dead on.
