A bunch of HSer are going to try to go sub-4 in the mile on Saturday (May 23)

Who is Evan Heckle?

Ha I wouldn't say I'm THAT tuned in. Just hear things here and there.

Unfortunately I have no idea where it's being held, I'd love to watch too.

Where can I watch it for free?

So that must be why we only have to social distance inside and we never stopped or closed any outdoor activities

Actually, my state never did. Playgrounds were closed due to surface contamination, but outdoor activies were and continue to be fine. Of course, talking with somone for extended periods of time outside could be dangerous if they are putting out a lot of virus. People sitting beside each other in stands for a 2+ hour game would not be wise. But we are talking about a few guys running a 4 minute race. The wind alone would dilute any virus they exhale. And at only 4 minutes, that's a prerty low risk interaction.

It may be true that lockdowns cause more domestic violence and drug addiction. It's probably true that it is harming immunization and other public health efforts.

But it has potentially positive effects as well:

* Fewer auto accidents

* Cleaner air/fewer deadly asthma attacks

* Healthier eating from eating out less?

* More time to exercise

* Fewer deaths from COVID-19!!!

Well then you should turn off your computer and stay locked up in your basement.

1) the virus can remain in the air for up to 3 hours

2) I guess they won't be spitting or coughing at any point

3) Good thing they will be social distancing on the starting line

Viruses are not living and are not contagious, so none of that makes any difference.

The weather forecast predicts a temperature of around 85 degrees at 8 PM. The race might have to be pushed back a little because it's hard to imagine anyone breaking 4 in those conditions.

You can post all the links you want, but until you show that lockdowns lead to excess mortality you haven't proven a thing.

This post reeks of so much privilege from Fat Hurts. Disgusting.

My post reeks of truth. Nobody disputed anything I've said.

Really picked a terrible time of day to do this in Sacramento in late May.

Can't. Some HSer who is going to the race wrote us saying he'd help tweet or something. We said, "Why don't you just broadcast it on a phone on twitter or something. He wrote back saying "It turns out that somebody has acquired exclusive video rights to the meet already. "

Temperatures are not an issue for a mile. It's too short.

is it at 8:15 am or pm?

spoken like a true marathoner, is there no temperature/humidity combo that can affect a mile race rojo?

C'mon, better to beg forgiveness than to ask permission and all that.

Rojo, who has the rights?

Milesplit has and you need at least milesplit pro to watch it, unfortunately.

Does anyone know if Milesplit will work if you have a Flotrack pro account? Or are they separate services.
