NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! We missed the finish!!!
Really...get a finish line camera!
Oh, Runnerspace, you have to be kidding me. That was the best plan they could come up with for filming the finish? Jump off the truck and try to outsprint the runners the last 200m?
Unbelievable. Really fantastic coverage completely ruined by the worst finish coverage you could ever have planned. Just incredible.
That was the funniest finish coverage ever.
You want to just be thankful for coverage... you want to do more than complain... I don't think they could have choreographed a more effective race coverage melt-down than that.
they just mentioned drug testing to Mo..first time all race that his heart rate actually went up

Think when they put that plan in place, they had plans to book Geb to be the cameraman.
Horrible finish coverage, but yes, thank you for giving us the coverage. I am very thankful I was able to see it.
That was just awful. Had great coverage of the race. Hopefully they will have a different camera on the finish for some video to upload to the web later.
What was the winner's time? and Hall's?
they seemed to figure out how to get the women's finish.
So who won?
that was bad....wow....this is a business and that is the best you can do? Maybe it's time to find a different profession.
What a disaster at the end. All he had to do was get out, post up, and use the zoom function to watch from behind over the last what...50-100 meters?
It wouldn't have been perfect, but at least we wouldn't have had to watch the sad attempt to sprint to the finish behind the staging area at the line, only to be held up by security.
OF COURSE the truck won't go directly through. There should have been a plan for covering a race as big as a U.S. Championship with that many high-profile athletes.
I also would have like to be able to tell what was going on through atleat 1:05... did my boy make the trials?
Anyone have the top 3 times? I heard Ryan mention that this was his 3rd best half time but that was all I got.
Trafeh 62:17
Hall 62:20
Smyth 62:32
Ryan 2nd in 62:20
