At the very worst, he'll be the fastest guy I buy a beer for later that night!

55



Good Luck!!!

43 was was of my basketball numbers, so I'll go with that.

Good luck and have fun with that race. I miss XC, especially if it has some big meet electricity.

28th.

I'll go with 41.

I think you've got a good shot at placing in the 50's. But there's little room left at that inn. I'll go with 59th.

I guess the question s/b...what place do YOU think you'll come in?

60th. Nothing personal, just playing the numbers.

61st

18 degrees. Windy. Snow on the ground. And were the 7 race of the day on a multiloop course. This could be....interesting.

Watch the race live at http://www.runnerspace.com/USACrossCountryChampionship at 2:00 I believe. Wind is whipping and I don't see any shorts out there - go get em and have fun!

I thought about running in this race when it was in San Diego. With this weather, not so much.

Good luck! FWIW, it sounds like the type of weather a strong runner like yourself can place well in.

I'm still at the hotel and can't load the video. Everyone in tights? I'm debating half or long tights.

I hope so!

I'm going with 39th. I just believe that you are going to surprise yourself buddy! Best of luck and run strong and soak up all the excitement.

Big moments bring the best out of athletes like you Dave!

There were actually a few of the women wearing shorts, but most were wearing tights. Don't know how you are with the cold, but it is supposed to be 26 with a wind chill of 12 - NW winds at 22 mph. I did see one lady slip a little, but overall footing didn't seem too bad - track didn't seem too chewed up either (hard to tell though from a video off the back of a moving cart).

Well I doubt I'll be on the video at all, but I have a blue singlet with white long sleeves under. Black nike hat. Beard.

Those flags are really flapping, seems pretty windy. And definitely some are wearing shorts. Good luck Dave!

Good luck out there today, Dave!

Is it possible Dave is running right now? Someone has a blue singlet with a white long sleeve under it but the camera is too far away and bouncy to tell.

Was that just Junior mens?

St. Louis is on CT so they are 1 hr behind. It's only 1:20 there.

Sara Hall won the women's open... neck and neck with Molly Huddle all the way to the finish line... they had to go to photos/video to declare a winner. GREAT RACE!

Well, you made it onto the video, DS.
