Houlihan racing 5k Saturday in Heusden, Shalane Flanagan Pacing

Shannon Rowbury's

Personal best(s)

800 meters: 1:59.97[1]

1500 meters: 3:56.29 AR[2]

Mile: 4:20.34[1]

3000 meters: 8:29.93[1]

5000 meters: 14:38.92 AR

Will Shelby be relying too much on Shalane for proper pacing?

Will Molly forget her marathon legs and remember how to get her speed back for the oval pain train?

How many can break 15?

How many can break Jamin's 14:56?

Who will watch John Wayne in True Grit the night before the race?

Is it true that the Belgium people love our great President Trump?

When is start time? I hope the ladies slept better than I did last night. Much anticipation for the Heusden Hoedown women's 12 lap record attempt. Odd dream involving what would be the appropriate music to play at Peter Frampton's funeral. I don't own a copy of Frampton Comes Alive so not sure what triggered this dream?

Anyway, back to today's race and Shelby has the extra pressure of not letting Jerry down. He's taking Evan's steeple performance yesterday very hard. He was overhead yelling "Not getting any younger, just one second, and what's with the hair?"

At race time Shelby will just need to put all distractions out of her head and just run baby! Expect Great Things!!!

Let’s get one thing clear... Flanagan still has wheels....I would bet Flanagan can go 14:45 right now.

Really??? That's be amazing. 14:45 is basically her PB (14:44.80) which she set 11 years ago, when she was 25. Her next fastest time is 14:45.20 set seven years ago (on her 30th birthday!) She didn't break 15:00 again until last year, when she ran 14:58.99 at this meet. We all thought that was very impressive for a 36 year old marathoner. I guess not.

Well at least 14:50 she got in pretty good 3k shape indoors with only 2 races

Will there be a Heusden stream?

What is the start time for this race?

Wow great field! Huddle Schweitzer Sisson Hall also in there. Send splits and updates if anyone has links or there live.

It is streaming on watchathletics. I'm not sure whether it is free.

It is free, but the stream doesn't start for 20 more minutes.

In case you hadn't figured it out, the race doesn't start for several hours, contrary to what was posted above. I think they were confused by daylight savings time.

Thanks. Please keep the updates coming.

Women’s 5k at 2:36pm eastern

Are they running two heats? Because this race has like 30 entrants. Going to be crowded.

Has anyone figured out how to watch this? I only see a program about woodworking.

All I see is woodworking too - maybe at the half hour?
