Anyone else find it strange. Especially considering the women's trials is only 3 months before the Summer games. Tough turnaround for a marathon-3 months?!

Mid-April to Late-August = three months.
Obviously holding them nine months earlier in cold weather makes more sense.
Yep having them in 2007 makes more sense.
Have you ever raced a marathon? Tough recovery from Mid-Late April to early August. You're right, having them in the end of 2007 makes perfect sense. You can take down-time, then prepare for an Olympic marathon. How is that difficult to understand.

OK troll. I think 5 months is plenty they don't need another 5 months. These are professional runners we are talking about it's their job to recover and get massages and what not. This isn't 9 to 5'ers that have to work for a living that are going to the Olympics after the Trials.

Yes, and 2 + 2 = 3
Actually, holding them both in the first three months of 2007 would make the most sense of all. Don't be a fool, the OT site and date selections had nothing to do with what made the most sense in terms of performance in Beijing.
Typo: first three months of 2008.

'Twas a joke, friend. November is way too early, and April is a little late. Thing is, it'll be horrid hot in Beijing, so do you hold the trials in February again?
And athletics (track) in Beijing starts August 15, FOUR months after the women's trials almost to the day.
Florida or SoCal in February would probably be sufficiently warm. Same holds for March.
