I wonder if any opinions about the one false start rule have changed - I bet it would have sat Jarret in the blocks and kept him from stalingrad the race! Jarrett was out sooo early (I was kneeling beside the starter some 4m out and there was literally daylight between Jarrett and the others before the gun went off) that I have to think it was more of a brain-fart than any concerted attempt to beat the gun. A guy chockfull of adrenaline who just couldn't take it anymore. I'm not sure nailing his hands to the track would have kept him still. Drummond's non-stop mantra after the race (and again to me a couple of hours later) was that if the NFS rule had been in place he wouldn't even have been there to see Jarrett do a Jesse James. (Jon had a flase start charged previous to the real getaway.) He was so genuinely distraught at the whole thing that I decided not to ask him the hard question, which was, If the NFS rule was in operation, would you have been charged with the FS, or would you have made sure you didn't jump early? Different rules make for different circumstances. gh

t-and-f: I'm out......
Hey folks, What a great meet at Prefontaine! Webb was inspiring, Greene was the sportsman of the day! I wonder if any opinions about the one false start rule have changed - I bet it would have sat Jarret in the blocks and kept him from stalingrad the race! On a sad note for those who might care I won't be able to race in Eugene this year. I was hoping for a top 6 finish again but Thursday night while I was coaching my vaulter, I stepped off the pit and turned my ankle on the elevated runway. I have a Level two sprain on both the lateral and meddled side and I got every ligament all the way around plus a tear in the anterior tib tendon and both the peraneals. With only a week to the National 15k - which I am defending champion and only 4 weeks to Eugene I hold little or no hope to be able to race - considering I can't walk with out a cane right now. I wouldn't wish this on anyone. I might be back in time for the National 10k though that is doubtful too. Mike

Don't have my rule book in front of me right now - is that considered lifting or creeping? Seriously, bad luck Mike and hope you make a speedy recovery, in time for Nats. Jim Gerweck Running Times
