I'm wondering how many people out there read RWTB for the first time, and didn't know what happened to the team that season beforehand.
I read the book as a high school kid, and it was my introduction to the world of college running and high level training. I remember being shocked and devastated when Chris Severy died. I had no idea that was going to happen, and reading those words hit me like a ton of bricks.

Same
There was a dedication to him before the first page of the book. I didn't know it had happened before I picked up the book, but I knew it before the story started.
I came to running late so I was wholly ignorant of the story line. And I tend to ignore everything before chapter 1 and only read dedications, introductions, prefaces, etc after I am done with the book because I don't want my take on the book to be colored by the author or whoever writes that stuff.
hit me right in the feels, bro
What would the Sev Dog be doing these days had he not tragically died? Successful like many of the Buffs, or on the run from the law like certain others.
I read the book many years after it came out and for whatever reason I thought going in that Colorado won the NCAA XC national title in the year the book was about.
So the ending was kind of a weird letdown.
I’m a D2 female runner. Our coach explicitly told us not to visit LetsRun forums.
