Tadese Tola is running the Bolder Boulder just 2 days after this race. It should be interesting to see how he does. |

It was unreal. He destroyed the field by close to 50 seconds and he did win the gender challenge. He ran it for the most part solo. Weather sunny, about 23 C with a slight breeze. Amazing how he put on. |

It's about time the olympic committee established a fair, standard process that all countries need to abide by if they want to send their athletes to the olympics. For example, each country needs to have an olympic trials on a date determined 1 year before the olympics. no surprises. Everyone with an A or B standard can participate, period. No politics, no country-specific rules, no nonsense. I am tiered of seeing the stupid, ridiculous politics behind our sport in countries like kenya and ethiopia. No wonder Sammy was looking to move to Qatar. |

This chain reminded me of a crazy split G.Mutai had in the baa 10k last year. http://www.coolrunning.com/results/11/ma/Jun26_BAA10k_1_set2.shtml 27:19 the hard way, he split 13:19 For the second 5k. Which I believe included going up beacon hill, which is a pretty solid 400-600m hill. |

Course is flat w just one weird sharp turn and short climb. Not perfect, but a legit PR course. |
