Its going to be the same thing as the last two years. Its going to be entirely about Jim and the person who actually wins it will be completely forgotten in his shadow. They'll make a video about it. Jims struggle. He just needs to focus on going top 10 and not go 93 miles at CR pace. Its a 100 not a 93.
that's a bit unfair to say Jim screwed up by running 93 miles on CR pace in 2016. He missed a turn, he didn't blow up. His pacing in 2016 was fine. not perfect but fine.
It's Walmsley's year. Last year was a debacle waiting to happen, called it after I watched the training videos of him running like it was a 5k. He sounds at peace with everything, and is ready to let it rip (at the right time.) If he plays it smart until Robinson Flat, it's game over for the field.
