This board doesn’t deserve tidbits (salient points, if you will), because it may be giving away some important factors that are being ignored by fans of her opponents, and might help opponents up their game in the future. But here goes: you’ve all seen video of Valby this season; well look at the running form of Valby’s teammate Shapiro, too.
No real dog in the fight, but Tuohy beat Valby at nationals in the spring, right?
Correct. Tuohy also put 12 seconds on Chelangat in 1k back in September. In October, Valby hammered from the gun and put 8 seconds in Chelamgat over 5.9k or whatever that course was in late October.
You do know that Tuohy hasn’t lost this season, right? I think the matchup is interesting, but declaring either Valby or Tuohy to be a clear-cut favorite is foolhardy
