I read the interview Ken kindly sent along. It I saw: "It was the great course. Because of the help I got from my pacers > and guards it was easy to run. "
Then Ken asks, Now, I would like to solicit opinions (which this list is never short on). What is the significance of first sub 2:20? I think the list will comment on the use of pacers and guards. Is such use really racing? Or do we see the sub 2:20 as an interesting time trial and Takahashi's Olympic victory as a "real" race. Those are my unguarded remarks. Tom Derderian
