        Holy crap, that must be a dreadfully slow course. 4.4k at 5:45 pace.

        It's great to see Wheating. This looks like a fun meet for post-collegiate guys!

        "the lead runners ran a 5k."
        The top 6 went the wrong way, which ended up being the right way. Don't ask how that makes sense. For the rest of us, the course was short before the first mile. I still expected it to sort itself out later in the race, thinking the mile marker was just off. Then suddenly we were finishing. I was disappointed because I was reeling in the woman in front of me, then ran out of room before I'd expected.

      • Read about him on the LRC front page a few weeks/months ago. What's his plan? 2016 qualify? what event?

        If not, would he move up to the marathon to earn some pay days?

      • A few U of O kids on that list as well, those not going to nationals of course.

        Easy to cheer for Wheating. He's a real personable guy.

      • Good to see Wheating giving out a Beating again. Future American GOAT.

        I was pretty surprised to see him show up today. I talked to him afterward and he said that it was his first XC race since 2009. Great to see him healthy and running strong.

        Why is this a surprise. it's doubtful nike is going to extend his contract after years of partying. This is a desperation maneuver on his part.

      • Trying to recapture what worked for him in college? Seems like a last ditch effort.
