Crap, now I am kicking myself for not going down to watch. Were there cowbells aplenty ringing, or did the FF security Nazis confiscate them again?

It was a great effort by Fam - he was all by himself after the 2nd lap. There were cowbells aplenty, tons of people near the water jump and the one of the squeegie guys was wearing a blond wig!

Fam also didn't run any steeples before the 2007 USATF Meet. Granted he was also running way fast in other events this time last year too...

Fam thinks he can run 8:15 right now. I wonder how fast he'll be in June?

Fam's had trouble in previous seasons maintaining his momentum. Let's hope he doesn't over race in this important year...
