IDK. The yellow infield and pink track are kind of gross.
Mary is in Cork, first race in over two years, gotta hope for the best.

Any more info on how to watch this?

I think this site will have it and it looks like it is not blocked as it does not have the Ireland only symbol (e acute in triangle) but the commentary may well be in Gaelic. Monday 7:15 pm start (2:15 pm Eastern)

The live stream is at
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MTIl7iK4OoM. I don't think it's geo-blocked. The international track events start at 7.05pm Ireland time and the Women's 3000 is due off at 8pm.
For UK viewers it's no longer live on FreeSports (channel 95 on Freeview, for example) but it is on at 6am - 8.30am on Tuesday.
I must be missing something. Mary Cane doesn't seem to be on the start list for the 800.
Geez. Never mind. I was looking at the 800. Sorry.
sub-9:30 would be a successful return.

I think we have to presume she's hoping for better than that.
Surely she wouldn't go all the way to Europe to run 9:29 and get beaten by 30+ seconds? I reckon anything better than 9:12 would be a success for her first race.

We've added a poll on the front page and article on Cain where you can vote for how you think she will do.
Sub -9, 9-9:15, over 9:15.
I see what you are saying and would have modest expectations for her but my main thought on this is, "You don't go over to to Europe to run a pro race to run 9:30. That make no sense."
So I put 9:15 as the cutoff as 44 collegiate women broke 9:15 this year indoors (only 10 broke 9:00).
A 9:30 is equivalent to roughly 16:30 for 5k.

Europe is the home of athletics. Why wouldn't you want to race there?
She's also entered in a race in Finland on the 28th and is possibly racing in Belgium on the 21st soshe isn't just going for one race.
Holy cow. They are speaking backwards!
How do you watch this?
Wow. The traffic on the Cain article is through the roof. The biggest Monday at Letsrun in a while. I long for the days when NCAAs were on a Monday.
Can someone post a link that works please?

See my post above. The link works, the commentary is a mixture of Gaelic and English
I am nervous. I feel like I'm about to race.
I always liked MC but wouldn't say she was/is my favorite athlete. I truly hope she performs well today and in her career moving on.
