Not forgetting, but am doing major google searches to learn more about Mr. Thompson. Hows about Mr. Chris Barnicle? Star of HS XC meets and dances, gets lost in Arkansas and New Mexico for many years and reappears in pollen infested Palo Alto. What a story.
Isn't Chris Thompson the guy who won a 10k road race in England by like 2 minutes a couple weeks ago? He ran close to 28:00 all by himself, so something big was in the air. Very impressive sub 27:30!
Chris Thompson is now third on the all-time UK list behind Jon Brown and Eamon Martin.
