You're stupid, you can never run that fast, don't talk

[Trapperjonn]

Andrew is just emerging. He is a great competitor, just not experienced yet. BTW...he is also now an Olympian...headed to China. The other guy was eliminated in the semi-finals.

ok dchartier, first i can guarantee you that wheating ran WAY faster than a 1:57, and second of all your saying how 1:45 is paltry compared to olpympians but at the same time your bragging about your 1:57 which is a decent time but THAT TIME IS PALTRY to the best half milers in my state and in most other states, and wheating is a beast so you should stop putting him down!

[dchartier1]

@MrNony64 Irregardless, I just CALL IT as I SEE IT. If Wheating starts racing RIGHT, I'll give him PROPS. Until then, he's just a CHICKEN SH*T racer!

[MrNony64]

@dchartier1 no, theres a diffrence in being cocky and having a positive aditude, and shitting on Wheating's isn't really having a good aditiude

[dchartier1]

@MrNony64 Compared to MANY Olympic years, a 1:45 IS paltry.

Yeah, you can SAY that my SAYING that I'll run a 1:50 my senior year is ARROGANT or BALLSY, but that's the ATTITUDE of CHAMPIONS! Just you WAIT and SEE and I'll MAKE IT SO!

[MrNony64]

@dchartier1 um did you just seriously say that 1:45 is paltry? you've only run a 1:57 and never say you plan on a new time untill you've run it

[dchartier1]

@MrNony64 I've NEVER seen that mark recorded. But EVEN if that's TRUE, I ran a 1:57 as a JUNIOR, and PLAN to run a 1:50 my SENIOR YEAR.

Sure, he MADE the U.S. Olympic team as a college sophomore (with a PALTRY 1:45 in the TRIALS -- not EVEN good enough to MAKE IT in many years), but that just shows how PATHETIC the U.S. is in the HALF these days. He went NOWHERE in Beijing. And PART OF THAT is because of his CHICKEN SH*T race tactics. He better LEARN from EXPERIENCE!

[MrNony64]

@dchartier1 Acttualy im almost positive that it was about a 1:54.6 or some thing around there, but I mean, come on hes not THAT good, he only ran in the Oylimpics as a sophmore in College.

[dchartier1]

@MrNony64 Of COURSE I know who JUANTORENA (a.k.a,. El Caballo) is! And NO, I haven't run a 44 yet DUE TO MY YOUTH. But JUST YOU WAIT! I can run a 52 NOW, so in a few years I SHOULD be able to run TWO of those BACK TO BACK, meaning I'll NAIL a 1:44. Just you WAIT!

I don't know of ANY official times by Wheating in a HS 800. But since your're SO smart, what IS his HS 800 PR? I bet he DIDN'T run a 1:57!

[MrNony64]

@dchartier1 yeah but u bet Juantorena run's much fast that a 52.... just gussing cause I have no clue who he is, and wheating ran a very fast 800 m in HS, but not much official times because they were smaller, in state races.

[dchartier1]

@MrNony64 Wheating DIDN'T run the 800 in HS, so we CAN'T COMPARE our specialties in HS. He DID run a 3:54 1500, which is EQUIVALENT to a 4:13 mile. I HAVEN'T run that, and I WON'T in HS, but AS I SAID, I have TOO MUCH LEG SPEED to do well in the MILE. I HAVE run a 1:57 800 as a JUNIOR, so I've got THAT on Wheating. And I GUARANTEE that he didn't run a 52 QUARTER in HS.

There is such a thing as TOO MUCH SPEED for the 1500. Just look at JUANTORENA -- NO WAY he could run a good 1500!
