Or more precisely, something like 13:35. Young Stevie Furst takes his flying circus to Stanford University this weekend for the prestigious Payton Jordan Invitational, where he will run in the 5K with 25 of the best folk in the country/world. The meet is so competitive that Steve, despite being in fantastic shape, is not in the fastest heat. Everybody whose anybody in American distance running (and elsewhere) is at this race, and there is plenty of fast to go around – he should have the opportunity to run the time that he needs to get into the 5K at US Nationals out of this heat just as well as the seeded race.
Race time is 11:16 PM EST on Saturday, and you can watch it LIVE at Flotrack.com. It’s gonna be nuts. Last I saw, he had a neon yellow jersey top and he remains 2 inches taller than everyone else. In a perfect world, he’d be running 4:22 1600s for number 1 and 2, then bringing it home in 4:20 followed by a 30 second last 200. That’d be hot. I’m certain he has it in him, but it’s gonna be hard.
