Has anyone else considered the fact that this wasn't that bad of a showing 2 months out from Kona? First of all LS went 55, 4:28, 2:55 for an 8:24. How was he able to go 6:10 pace for the first 20 miles of the run if he was in such a bad way? He had to shut it down purposely. The words out of the colonels mouth were that this was a long training day to test efficiency and other changes, add that to the fact that his buddy CB was the one who won this race (with a killer debut). I am just speculating but wouldn't it make sense for LS not to push Cody and let him have his day? After all Cody says he is not doing Kona anyway and it would make sense for LS to save his run legs. If that is the case I think this is a win for him to show restraint, get in whatever testing he wanted and come back to Kona with a clearer picture. Just my opinion, although I don't disagree that getting some coaches or mentors would pay dividends to his consistency.

I guess we shall see in a couple months.........
