I saw that. Damn, I wanted to watch the men’s race!

Kelati got smoked there at the end. I wanted her to win, because she’s “from” near me (I.e., she went to HS for a year or two near me), but what an underdog upset by Dani Jones! Did NOT expect her to win.

???????

Why in the hell do they have 4 teams on the podium.

This may be the biggest upset in Wetmore's storied career.

Pretty amazing right. Flotrack missed her being caught. I never saw it. She was behind and then ahead.

Jones win makes me think it's not too muddy out there. There is snow but I'm no longer worried about people having trouble in the mud.

Kelati went at ~4500m and Jones waited a little longer to make her final push in the last half mile or so. I wonder if her individual plan was to wait that long or if she was just feeling it and went for it.

Yeah, their commentary during the end of the race was ATROCIOUS. You literally have a battle coming down right to the wire, and they don’t even let you know or clearly show when the favorite ends up getting passed right before the finish?! Such awful presentation.

Nooo Twitch! Might another hero emerge with a new stream in the next 1/2 hour??!?

I always assumed it was to match the team sports the have a "Final Four." The number of teams on the podium is super arbitrary whether it is three or four or any other number.

I don't know about that, the women's race was wide open. Not sure why so many people pick New Mexico to win, they had not been convincing all year and their 4-5 were huge liabilities at nationals.

Well, the Twitch is down, but at least I got to watch the women's race. Pretty exciting this year rather than the usual sit and kick race for the women.

Yeah I reported it to twitch so i can keep the messagboard traffic up. ;)

What a madman

If that is the case, you better be giving a play-by-play of the legit stream that I don't have access to.

I felt the same way, I picked Colorado to win but I thought it was going to be a lot closer than that

get me a fckin stream brooooooother

Rojo, what amount would it take for you to part with this website? I have a number in mind.

SOMEONE PLEASE LINK A FREE STREAM
