Nope not even close. Gitch Hayes has nothing on the true excellence and speed of THE Gdog Roadster. He now runs brilliantly in New York D3 college running brining the best socks to every meet.

My impressions: * It looks like it really narrows quickly, like only one or two runners wide, early in the first mile. I realize the video could be quite deceptive! Does the course "work" with a large field? * It seems only moderately hilly, but looks pretty technical: lotta turns (some quite narrow), uneven footing, couple rather abrupt declines. What have you noticed when actually running it? * Seems like it could be tough/slippery? on a rainy day (and rain is forecast for the end of the week), especially for the later races.

Talking a friend who coaches in NYS he said the last time the state meet was at the VVS course it was the worst mud he has ever seen in over 40 years of coaching

Wow. Thanks for info.
Think I'll watch the Federation meet the following weekend instead!
