Whoops, and, from the man himself:
#usaxc this weekend!! It's been 5 years since I have run an #xc race....should be interesting.
Not sure what coach is thinking since everyone knows I only run 5k; and we all know I don't run 10k...so how am I going to run 12k?
Thought this was a troll at first. Teg should win it, obviously.
Why are US runners so puss about keeping their racing plans secret?
Why are US runners so puss about keeping their racing plans secret?
And why are we so shocked when someone runs the National Cross Championships? THE one race that everyone should be running- Ritz, Webb, Rupp, Solinksy......... EVERYSTINKINGONE!
I heard Bumbalough was running, too.
I'm surprised the guy hasn't posted yet that usually says "DON'T FORGET THE BOWERMAN 5K!"
OMG EVERYONE SHOULD BE RUNNING!!!
MEB, RITZ, TEG, ABDI, SOLINKSY, RUPP, ROHATINKSY, BAIRU, FERNANDEZ, PIFER, WILLIS, GASPER, WITHROW, DEAK, JENNINGS, PRE, PYRAH, KENNEDY, VIREN, FALCON, COE, RYUN, MILLS, SHORTER, CUNNINGHAM, ZATOPEK, BIKILA
OMG YOU HAVE TO RUN THIS RACE
OMG OMG OMG
Are you guys kidding? Seriously? Was it not mere hours ago that many condemned Rupp for announcing his racing plans in New Zealand? Goddamnit! What do you people want?
NEVER FORGET THE BOWERMAN 5K FIASCO!!!!!
"In Internet slang, a troll is someone who posts inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, chat room, or blog, with the primary intent of provoking other users into a desired emotional response[1] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.[2] In addition to the offending poster, the noun troll can also refer to the provocative message itself, as in "that was an excellent troll you posted". While the term troll and its associated action trolling are primarily associated with Internet discourse, media attention in recent years has made such labels highly subjective, with trolling being used to describe intentionally provocative actions outside of an online context. For example, recent media accounts have used the term troll to describe "a person who defaces internet tribute sites with the aim of causing grief to families."[3][4]"

I'm excited if Teg's really going to run usa xc, but the real challenge is world's, and I would love to see all the big boys, ritz, solinsky, teg, webb, hall, rupp, meb, lagat, etc. point toward that one year.
Bumbalough's going to be in the big boy list soon.

Ben True is gonna win
interesting to see how Robert Cheseret (Lagat's younger brother, right?) does. Lagat said he was really going to surprise a lot of people this year.
I will also pick Ben True for the win-atleast top three
No Ritz? No Rupp? Salazar... No Lagat? No Solinsky?
Lame. What a disappointment and lost opportunity.
No way True beats Teg, Bumbalough, or Torres. He'll be up there though.
Bobby Curtis and Abdi could win too. This won't be an easy win for Tegenkamp.
TEG DON'T RUN NO CROSS!!!
