for the link to the webcast
OK- is anyone else having problems finding the webcast?
I follow the links, but I don't ever get to a live video.
I followed the link on the Brojo's main page. It is working great. Colleen is dominating master's women race.
Oh no - The course is so narrow, the camera cart can only broadcast the leader!
Wouldn't CDR be top ten in the women's open race? Why race the masters - better prize money?

Wasn't working in Firefox for me. I switched to IE and its working fine.
Working fine on Chrome/windows 7
It sounds the announcers and camera are on a riding lawn mower; That is LOUD!

Looks like the Masters Win is $1000 - pretty much sure money for her, and she just has to tempo.
She'd have to finish at least second in the Open to equal that, and work a lot harder for it.
can someone link me directly to the live feed, or does it not work on chrome because nothing is popping up
Yes, the prize money is better in the masters for Colleen. A win in the masters will net her $1k. Where as to get $1k in the open race, she has to get 2nd or 1st.
The only caveat is that the Masters race is age graded which can make it really difficult to win. You dont know where 2nd place really is or how far back, so you have to run as hard as possible. Last year, Colleen won in 27:27 and second place after age grade was a 58 year old who ran 32:13 and finished 6th overall.
The woman who was second to Colleen just said it was her first cross country race ever.

The link on the LR front page -
http://www.runnerspace.com/USACrossCountryChampionship- should send you to the live feed (it'll show up right above the "about event" block.
I haven't tried chrome, but it was NOT working on Firefox -- the rest of the page would load, but not the video. Only on IE (*sigh*). I'm glad I still have a computer that runs Windows (my other is Ubuntu).
I had to turn adblock off to get anything on Chrome. I also have the feed here:
What happened??? Back on now.

Clicking on the "LIVE WEBCAST" link for some odd reason led me right to the webcast.
Who knew?
I'm on Firefox - it worked for me after enabling AdBlock for runnerspace, then hit refresh.
I just gotta say that this webcast is very high quality stuff.
ESPN would be happy with the broadcast feed - I'm kind of stunned at the good quality of the broadcast. I've seen much worse coverage at major marathons, where you get all sorts of feed dropouts and terrible camera work.
Good job, whoever is in charge of this broadcast!
