One of them almost took Dykes down here in last year's race for Grand Senior Master. Of course Gene is 10 years older but still, a 1:25 1/2 in your 60s is impressive. Gene is slated to run again tomorrow and may or may not be making a record attempt. I think he missed it last year by 12 seconds. Windy as heck here now, but tomorrow looks ideal.
Interesting! Since you're there, if you think about it, please let us know what shoes Dykes and Stinson are in. I've seen photos of Dykes in Brooks, but also VaporFly's. (I wonder if Nike feeds him discount shoes, at his level.) We know DeMoor will be in the VaporFly's.
I wonder if Ed Whitlock would have run in VaporFly's, and what effect they would have had on his records.
I am not well versed in the shoe scene, especially the super shoe scene but I did notice last year just before the start, it was VaporFly city in the first 3 rows. There won't be much loitering tomorrow morning due to the virus and race protocols but I'll be sure to be looking to say hi to Seth, Gene, Parker, Pezz, et. al. and will note shoes.
