  • @phoenixshade3 thats really not that fast

  • Arranged ties were oh so 70s, weren't they. I'm okay with that. You can only kill yourself so often, so you have to dispense your mental reserves carefully so you can summon the big effort when it REALLY matters. With the Olympics coming up, both men had bigger things on their minds. I think it's a shame they didn't allow the tie to stand!

  • Classy. Two classy runners. Good stuff.

  • @knightsxc06 I agree, Rodgers was set to win. When Shorter realized that he himself couldn't win, then he accepted the tie. But If you're Rodgers why not go for a course record? Whatever, it was the 1970s and they were hippies.

  • i just ran a 5 mile race with bill rodgers, it too me a minute to realize who i was running with but when i did realize it that just made the race all the more fun

  • "I started to push against him: push the pace and worry him a bit... then i asked him if he'd liked to tie." Does this NOT make sense to anyone else??

  • The finishing time was 48:17.

  • So, what was their time?

  • these guys are amazing

  • I hate ties...who the hell would want to see these two legends TIE!!!!!!
