Why am I disappointed?
Why am I disappointed?
I don't know...why are you? Who wouldn't want to run there. Distance running heaven.
Well, to be honest, I'm pretty sure I'm disappointed because reading posts on this board has soured me a little re: U of O and Nike. I was actually moved by the clapping and the chanting of "Come to Oregon" after her trials performance, then I discovered Letsrun's message board. While I share none of the hate, I think it's tainted me...
Yeah, I get it with the U of O/Nike stuff. I'm pretty sick of it, actually.
But I somehow keep getting drawn back to the site. Kind of like watching a train wreck, I guess.
I'd dearly like to get out to a big meet at Hayward one day--guess I'll aim for the '12 OT. I've never been out there and have thought of it as America's running Mecca since the '70s. And I enjoy this board a lot (despite some of the hating being extreme and bizarrely unjustified), but it can get to you sometimes.
