Anyone else loose the feed?

My feed is pretty bad. Keeps goign in and out. Glad to learn I' not the only one.

I don't get hosw they can'tg give us a mile split. The first official split is 2.2 k. How hard is it to put someone out on the course at 1 mile.

I saw Huddle glance at her watch at 5:10 mark. There appeared to be a permanent sign to her right so I doubt that was officially a mile mark but it's pretty embarrasing to me that we are paying Max Siegel a milliion a year and we can't a mile split.

Mine is going in and out, too, and driving me nuts. Kind of pissed I just spent $13 for this kind of feed.

I swear the feed was fine while I had on the Junior Men's 8K right before it, and it was also totally fine for the starting line commentary. Super sad it's so choppy now. It can't be my internet suddenly crapping out when things were fine before, right?

Same. USATF charges folks to watch this and the feed is garbage.

Super annoying.

Inexcusable when they are charging. Pretty amateur and they should refund people.

Houlihan in first at 2.2k

So Huddle leads. Tuliamuk is right on her and then 5 Bowerman women.

This feed is horrific. It stutters ever 5 seconds.

Turned it on the lowest quality. Super fuzzy but at least it doesn't go in and out.

Agreed. What the crap. This is so annoying to watch, cutting in and out every few seconds. It was indeed perfectly fine for the junior mens race.

Huh. Yeah. Wonder if we can get refunded. This is why I signed up and paid $13, and it is literally unwatchable.

This is completely unwatchable.

I'm guessing they weren't expecting this amount of traffic, the feed was fine for the junior races, more people on the stream is likely making it bad.

Thank you for the tip. Even the second lowest one seems to be fine.

Bunch of goons running the USATF, they need real running enthusiasts at the helm.

Huddle, Hall, Houlihan, Tuliamuk, Taylor make top 5 at 2miles

Mid-range quality fixed the problem for me.

Lol! Remind me again why XC isn't more popular with the masses in the country.
