A few years ago the boards were blowing up with reviews on an insider blog written about Ok State track, right around when G-Man and Tom Farrell (7th at the Commonwealth 5k yesterday) were killing it out there. It turns out the same guy is still writing like a fiend. Found out about his last piece on triathlons through my old coach

Does anyone know a good place for me to share this guy's work? Not sure I agree with his take on triathlons being obsolete, but the site has really well written articles.

re: ORU faithful

Do you work for this guy or something? They need more running pieces, and not just to bash on tris all day.

re: ORU faithful

I actually remember reading the OSU blog, cowboytrack.wordpress.com, back when I was being recruited by them. Is that same writer still with a university?

re: ORU faithful

was wondering what ever happened to that blog. seemed to give some nice snapshots into the life of OSU's xc team. would be cool to see some more articles about specific running events etc.

seems to have potential to rival that eat run swag website.

re: mickk

Actually, he makes some valid arguments regarding triathlon pricing and socioeconomic exclusion. Maybe read the article before venting your opinion next time.

Speaking of OSU, what ever happened to Colby Lowe?

I heard he had some INS issues and is back living in Bogota for the indefinite future.

i remember editing German's Wiki page to say all kinds of fictious stuff after he broke Jeff Nelson's 2 mile record, the changes stayed up there for all of 5 minutes before the got edited back.

proceed with your thread.

re: ORU faithful

It's funny that two former OSU guys who did relatively nothing at the school have both appeared on this board in one day. Perhaps ol' Jank is at it again trolling the boards? I can only wonder.

Speaking of OSU guys who did relatively nothing at the school, the only thing that makes me think this isn't Clay Mayes is the fact that he has his own blog. http://okathletes.com/2014/07/28/an-open-message-to-elite-runners/

I ruled him out after seeing the word plight used properly.
