One time I was beat for 1st place in my AG by 4 seconds. And then I went out the next day and ran the same distance on a harder course and beat my race time by 22 seconds. What??? Thanks Mark. This poster describes how I felt.
Still totally impressed by Alysia Montano, and her fearless running in the 800 meters. The last 1200 meters by Mo Farah and Galen Rupp highlighted a superb 5,000 meters. And, the men's shot was great. Reese Hoffa noted that his Training partner, Adam Nelson, should be ready for Eugene...
