I don't see a general discussion thread. Should be some good races tonight!

Lol the announcer just said during the 800m boys race that the leader was under 28 minute pace.
Men's C race won by Simon⁶ Sundstrom in 28:11.16. Five under 28:40.
Should be a good one. 1500s are about to start.
Here is our preview
Here is schedule/results.
If you want to watch live, you have to get flotrack this year - not sure why they stopped the one off purchases.
PS. Let's go Nico. An LRC vicitor called me on my prediction and has bet me $500. I pay him $500 if Nico doesn't break 27 flat. IF he does, he pays me. If he runs 27:00.00, Jonathan Gault (the venmo middleman) gets it.
Bet is void if Nico is a DNS or if his shoe falls off at any point in the race. I probably should have added in something about a fall but didn't.
PS. We should come up with a criteria for what type of performance makes us do a live podcast. Definitely if Nico beats Fisher. If Fisher breaks the AR, i think we should do it as well. Not sure what else. If Monson breaks 29:30?
Hell by the time the women's 10,000 is over, I may be so tired/bored that I go live during the men's 10,000. Maybe we should do a show while that is run and then hang up and write up our recaps.
The 10K that Drew Hunter competes in starts in around an hour
Men's C race won in 28:11.16 Simon Sundstrom.
I was going to drive down to see these races live, but I’m recovering from a nasty cold and the late start times make it less appealing to be sitting in the stands feeling lousy and drowsy.
Sadie Engelhardt FTW!!!! 4:09.70.
Engelhardt just broke 4:10

8:18 Swedish steeplechaser and 15th placer at last year's Worlds
Sadie Engelhardt 4:09.70 FTW! Closed strong too- 63.0
Lauren Gregory second in 4:10.03, nice to see her back
Dang, heck of a race by Engelhardt. 4:09.70 to outkick Lauren Gregory FTW, looked confident and tactically savvy as well.
For the fans not interested in FloTrack's business model:
Facebook -> LiveRun -> the one with kipchoge in the thumbnail
For those not interested in Facebook business model, try discord -> coffee club, closer to the race

I'll stay up for a live pod if at least one of the following happens:
Monson and Kelati go sub-30.
Six or more men get the standard.
Six or more women get the standard.
As an east coaster I simply can't bring myself to pay 30$ and stay up past 1am just to watch two races of 25 laps around a track where it probably won't get interesting until 20 laps in. I'll check the times in the morning lol

and she lead from 600 to about 1100 or so I think? Then went with Gregory when she went. I was thinking the point of a race like this was to not have to lead, no? But it worked out fine.
God Flotrack sucks.
Tuntivate's decision to drop the 10k for the 1500 sure did work out.
Never expected him to win, much less outkick 3:54 miler Ratcliffe.
And, Centro 3:38.+ opener -- well ahead of where he's been at this time the past few years.
The drone footage is legit fire.
