Do you know how time zones work?

Rupp will NOT run the trials in those conditions. Won't back out until Friday so that he can maximize publicity.

He, meaning his handler, Salazar.

What channel are the races going to be on?

Is there going to be an internet feed?

NBC

Not that big of a deal. Runners from cold wintry places should have been sitting in a sauna for an hour or two a day for these two weeks during taper.

1. How many long runs in above 70 degrees?

2. How many marathon paced volume workouts in above 70 degrees?

3. How many weeks of daily runs above 70 degrees?

If you cannot say 5 or more for both of the first 2 and 30 or more for number 3 then you are NOT ready for what you will see in LA.

86 degrees here in LA today.

You mad bro?

LA is humid year round as it's a mediterranean climate.

It was a sad joke that the selection race for Beijing 2008 was run

in November, in Central Park. are you kidding me. hot humid August

race selection based on performance in a cool dry November race.

so, yeah, it's good that for Rio they are at least trying to mimic

the conditions. the start should be later, not earlier, and find a place

with higher humidity. do you want to medal in Rio or not? sheesh.

or you want the usual, 9th and 10th

No humidity in la. That should help.

Yes to both. NBC for both--TV and online stream.

Ritz has been sitting in the sauna and running indoors with several layers. He'll test your analysis.

So you are saying he is well prepared for sitting in the heat and running indoors?

I got acclimated to running on the track by sitting in lane 3 for an hour a day.

He'll be more prepared to run in heat than those racers who haven't sat in heat.

I can't believe no one else over the age of 40 thought of this. "Hot Trials in the City."

Well local news just said may be cooler on Saturday..upper 70s as the high (rather than upper 80s that was previously forecasted). Still warm but not terrible.

Maybe at the coast in Santa Monica but the trials downtown LA. Forecast is for 82+. It will be 75 at 10am. Sunday keeps getting warmer. But like the other dude said it does not matter because this is a 6 loop course. Ha! Whatever the effin that means.

Well this was tonight's forcast for LA, not beach cities. I mean either way, it's not a huge difference but I would rather take upper 70's than mid 80's. I guess we'll see come Saturday
