Ben True (59:53) and Erika Kemp (1:06:20) win 2021 USATF 20k Champs in New Haven

The only thing I see is on Runnerspace's twitter so far.

It's like the USATF doesn't care.

The race organizers don't care, which isn't the usatf. Race organizers submit application to be usatf national championship races, and apparently simple very much expected things at any big or small races like "live" results are not a must in either organizations eyes. New Haven Road Race has a website with a link to twitter which was last updated in 2018, and their facebook's last post is about packet pickup. The organizing committee definitely needs to do a better job on things like this seeing as it's only a matter of getting the timer to do such things as "live" results, which is easy.

The webpage for the event on USATF says "Watch on USATF.tv". I clicked on the link, signed up, paid my money for absolutely nothing. Now I have the hassle of getting my money back.

USATF is fully on the hook for these dismal, embarrassingly bad 'Championship Events'. No way you can put it on the race organizers. USATF contracts with them & no full well what they're getting into. Pathetic.

Also ummm Jordan Hasay 16th in 1:14:18. That is 6min/mile pace almost exactly and a 1:19 Half marathon equivalent. Um my hobby runner (female) friend just ran that last weekend. What is going on with here. That is not just a medicore pro performance that is not even elite anymore.

Looking forward to seeing replay of last few Ks of the men's race.

That's concerning. I guess Albertos 'training' was just so much better for her.

It is very concerning. I remember when she went with Paula, they were giving her one complete rest day per week to avoid all of the bone injuries that plagued her. It got her healthy, but I questioned if that had something to do with her poor fitness at the trials. Then we heard about some type of nutrition absorption issue before Valencia. She's stayed healthy for at least a year now, so it's strange to see no improvements back to elite form. I have to wonder if rushing back from the hamstring tear has caused long term issues. It will be interesting to see what she does in Boston, but I fear her best days are behind her.

That was a USATF donation link . They thank you, no refunds .

I ran with, ahead, or right behind Jordan for the last 4 miles of this race. Her last couple miles were pretty consistent. It was super humid and hot out there this morning, 72 degrees and 90% humidity. I caught up to her at Mile 9 and then ran with her from 9 to 10.5 and then passed her briefly until Mile 11 when she caught back up to me. I ended up about 10 seconds back of her since she ran pretty strong the last mile and a half. My last half mile from Mile 12 to the finish was at 5:30 pace and our gap probably held steady. I’m not sure if she knew maybe half way that it was going to be a poor race but she really was consistent from Mile 7 when if saw her ahead to the finish so I would love to know what her first couple miles were.

Race is started, anyone have updates, live stream, or live results?

How did you predict the winners in the title ?

Did she tell you she was racing?

I was there and at about 1/2 way she was already far behind and looking slow.

At the finish she came across (about 8 min slower than what she ran to win in 2017) right away started grabbing her left hip/thigh and kind of limped away on the verge of tears.

There looks to be something very wrong.

Right away she looks real real thin not fit thin but unhealthy thin.

Hope she gets it figured out before Boston

Will be interesting to see how well Ben True does in NYC ‘Thon.

Great win for Ben True

I remember seeing her in person at the USOT last year and she looked so frail. All of the stress fractures especially the sacral one makes me think she is very undernourished. I wish her all the best especially as she was a hero of mine in high school.
