Give me a break. How many times have we heard this bunk from Solomon? Not buying it again.

If Solomon goes out in 1:14--or even 1:15--what would he have left for the remaining 200 meters? Enough to finish in 1:44.00 or better? Or would he stagger home having been passed by 5 or 6 runners in the last 50 meters?

I asked him that not directly. Here's what he said post-race:In the final it's going to go out more aggressive than that. I think I'm going to take it to a place where the only person who has been there is Nick," he said. Later when asked what that place was he said, "Coach Gray calls it the Twilight Zone. I'm going to go under 50 seconds the first lap and probably be under world record pace at the 600."Duane explained his tactics, "It's just a way you can break the field. If they try and go with me they are going to break down....If I tie up at that pace I'm not going to tie up a lot. I've done a 700 going world record pace, not tying up at all."When asked if that meant he had something special for the final he said, "I've got something special." Duane struggled this year with a problem with a nerve behind his calf, but said he never lost his base and it was "easy to get the speed back."Sunday's final should be a great one.
