Mt. Sac Mens 5k Results

[Dragonsoul]

What do you guys think of the results of this race?
Bernard Lagat won in 13:14 and Kevin Sullivan(not 2nd) ran 13:27 in his debut for a rabbited 5k I believe for all time.

What do you think of Kevin Sullivan's race in particular?

Looks like you underestimated both of them :cool: It was said that it is perfect running conditions out there, is that true?

I live 30 minutes away from Mt. Sac and raced there one time(4x800 in pr of 2:10.5). I hear there is smog there and the air is not too good, but when I went there I didn't explicitly notice it but I did have pain/soreness in my lungs after the race, maybe because of possible bad air? Anybody got more info on this? Anyways I hear Stanford has better weather, Los Angeles area is smoggy someplaces

:)

i think that lagat with an april 13:14, 8 seconds ahead of everyone, could very well make a run at the american 5k record (bk 12:58.4) this year if he maintains 5k style training until a fast june or late may european 5k, where he would be going against sub-13 guys. he is also way ahead of his usual pace and might have one of his best years at the 1500m/mile, after a very nice indoor campaign, a sub 3:50 indoor mile, and i believe this is a 5 second pr in the 5k, or at least a pr.
