Maybe its just because I'm a local runner and they made quite a stir last year, but I am excited to see what kind of time they hit this year. I wonder who is on the team this year? I got my money on them being in the top 5 overall...

For your reference, the discussion from last year:

Aren't we all local runners? I don't know any remote runners, maybe I need to get out more.

Betting a bunch of hired road whores make top 5 isn't much of a bet.

I can't remember. Is this an Olympic year for the centipede event or not?

The Impalas broke the women's centipede record, running 46:37. And they're a real club, not an all-star team like LinkedIn.
