Amazing consistency indeed! good post.
I guess since the WR was set with a 2:46+ at 1200m split ... then if you are
2:46-high at 1200m it is not hyperbole for the announcer to state that he's
on WR pace ...
Additionally, since nobody has probably EVER run 2:45+ at 1200m and still
carried on to

How long will it be until we see a 3:25?
Thoughts?
Once a dependable urine test for EPO is developed, we will not see a 3:25
(or 12:35) for several years after that. Just like the levelling of women's
sprint times and weight event distances in both sexes since random testing
was introduced.

To begin with... 1200 feet is hardly altitude. I get so frustrated when
people say that Edmonton is at altitude..
I believe Edmonton's altitude is about 2100 feet, not 1200.
Americans could have gone to that high altitude mecca we call Spokane (1900')
to prepare. ;)

This statement:

This is true and is equal to the Highest Point in WIsconsin, Known as Tim's
Hill.
There is NO effect on performance in either the sprints or distances at
2000 feet. The Air pressure is essentialy the same.
