Ten meters of ankle-deep standing water is now too difficult? I overheard a very well-known and respected college coach at the meet talking about how this was like Irish and English XC and it informs him about an athlete's grit. He was loving it as it confirmed/exposed some runners that he came to watch.
Great, when those athletes get on the college mud running team and sign their big NIL de-
did you see the race? The course was super wet. They had to run through shin deep water a couple of times. Lots of slipping on the turns as well.
Didn’t see it, so I don’t know: what would be the results of getting a pump out on the course to drain (pump off) areas of standing water? Would that be possible?
Apart from any number of Rojo diatribes, this may be the dumbest post I’ve seen on LRC.

I actually saw one pumping truck/system at the course. The weird thing was, it looked like it was pumping water out of a sand trap (which had become a lake) not the actual course. Confusing. In any case, there was way too much water to difference in slop.

I thought the race was great. The battle this year between Niwot and Air Academy is real. Plus, as an NC State fan, I was delighted to see Bethany Michalak better her third place finish in 2022 to second. BM will matriculate at Wolfpack World next fall, under the tutelage of Mama Wolf Laurie Henes. GO PACK!!!

I'm watching the replay now. Anyone who thinks that is bad should just quit the sport and pick up table tennis or something. Looks just fine to me. We were at AAU champs in Tallahassee this past weekend - that was some real weather.
