Aha, someone is listening, :)
I'll finish this beer, watch the possible end of Lebron's season, and hammer something out within the next hour...It is currently 7:30 pm, in beautiful Cowichan Bay, B.C......Are you guys ready? This could be called foreplay, I know :)

Bitches, I'm batting 333, and it looks like I won't bat 1000, because SB has now revealed that he will likely not do 5000m. Do you guys think he will do a Half? Let's see, shall we.
Bitches?? What are you, 12? Who talks like that?
If you want to claim you are batting .333, then you must logically support the idea that those disagreeing with you are batting at least .667, if not 1.000. Saying, "I'm batting 333" is equivalent to "You are more right than I am."

Hey Ron, remember that Victoria Running Forum that "Davidson" set up, and it just died (hello DC!). I wonder if we can pay Davidson and just change the title of it. I dunno.....

Simon Bairu will set National Records for 5000m, 10000m and Half Marathon in 2010. You heard it here first. He turned a corner with his 13th place run at WXC.

You know as much as I would bet against this prediction, simply because Bairu is aiming for NY as his first marathon. Along the way some thing can happen. How often do you see guys run a half very well before their marathon. Theoretically at the end of the day it could possibly happen that Bairu could take the marathon record, he already has the 10, 000, record and a half in preparation would make it 3 of 4.
But yeah...odds are not this year, but mostly because of the timing of everything.
The "Canadian Running Thread" has not one post on nationals, and just a bunch of girls complaining about...um...nothing?
Great work, countrymen.
Not a "countryman" but I don't think much of these predictions. Probably some high school kid trying to sound like he knows what he's talking about.
Why so many CAN elite athletes skipped your national meet, if that happened in the U.S. people would ferious. We have some that skipped our meet, but it looked like half of the elites passed on it. It is an honor to be a national champion.

I told you I am not a "countryman." Go be "ferious" at someone else. Eh?
Looks like sprinters and throwers did well -- but then again, I heard Canada is a throwing and sprinting nation.
Bairu didn't get any new records though.
Good day.

As a girl, I take offense that you're calling those immature squabblers "girls." If I had to bet, I'd say it's mostly -- if not all-- boys. The extreme pettiness on this thread makes me embarrassed for my fellow Canadians. But I'm pretty sure my gender has stayed out of it for the most part.

But Mr. Bowker and his imaginary army of followers in CanDRA are going to single-handedly change that and resurrect Canada as a distance running powerhouse. Someday. Maybe. When they get around to it.
Haven't you got the memo?

Actually the great turn-around is already underway according to the OP. When Bairu sets all those records this year....
Nevermind.

I really love him as an athlete and was bummed not to see him. Injured?

Shut down his season before Nationals. Feeling burnt out. Getting married. Not an international championship year. Better to play it safe.

How's that working out, Skuj?
