Watching the finish of the men's 10K was very interesting to me. Coming in first was Great Britain's Mohamed Farah and in second was the U.S. runner Galen Rupp. He is the first American to medal in the event since 1964. I thought the results and subsequent commentary were interesting in light of the last few lessons of Unit 3 regarding the dominance of black athletes. Both Rupp and Farah trained together in Oregon under coaching legend Alberto Salazar. Their methods were meticulous and long-term in goal setting. They show that training and dedication can create historic results.
