I'm pretty excited for this one as there are a ton fast guys toeing the line. It probably won't make a difference but I wonder if some of these track guys will have a hard time with the roads. Most likely not but you never know. I'm going to go ahead and pick Huddle and Estrada for the W.
Side note- Anyone having issues finding the live feed on the local news website where it's supposed to be streamed? I know it's still 90 minutes until the start but I just want to be prepared.
I also can't find the streaming. Any help is appreciated.
ah they updated the site and now has streaming
Staggered start? Or are the men and women starting at the same time?
It's at wpri.com, as announced, but the video is pretty choppy.
Ritz is going hard in front!
nothing on the damned feed
The feed is working for me, with some interruptions. Ritz leading, Torrence and Huling close
Choppy to say the least. Dathan looks good but I think Huling will win.

FWIW feed much better on iphone than on a computer
Torrence 13:49, then Huling, Ritz, Chelanga
Huddle wins again, Shalane 2nd, Sisson 3rd. Coverage is terrible, no cameras focused on the women's race at all.

Seriously. Is it that hard to put a stationary camera at the finish. Heck the NFL puts cameras in the friggin pylons.

Yep, terrible coverage. Choppy feed at the start, no women's coverage, terrible camera angle at the finish. I did like the guy's play by play, though. I guess it's better than nothing.
What are the times?
Hate to say it, but that was the worst coverage I have seen yet for a National Champs of any kind. That TV station should be ashamed to call itself a media sponsor. Poor streaming, lost picture, and then a shot of the announcer's crotch. Really!?
Finally, failing to pick up either the men's or the women's winner. A high-school kid with a Go-Pro or an I-Pad could do better.

Calm down. You do realize the number of people interested in watching this life is tiny. There will be on-demand coverage later no USATF.tv.

It was bad, but not the worst I've seen. Maybe you missed the USA Cross Country coverage one year when Derrick won. They had one camera, stationary, focused somewhere in the middle of the course. You'd only see the runners when they ran through the portion in the angle of the lens, and the commentators had almost no chance to see who was who.
HUGE props for actually streaming it live.
...but if looking for constructive criticism...the women's race seemed super exciting and i was a bit bummed i couldn't really see any of it. and then obviously it was pretty choppy. i liked the commentating though, probs to him.
