I saw the thread on prediction for the CVS 5k and looked for one on 5th avenue but don't see one.
The 5th Avenue mile is tomorrow. Who you got?
On the men's side, I'm going with Nick Willis. He just ran real fast in Europe. Most of the other guys are past their prime or not that great.
Will Leer and Symmonds are my other choices. Does Manzano do well on the roads? If he can make it 3/4 of the way and be in contention at that point he could win.

On the women's side, I'm going with Jenny Simpson. The favorites rarely win these road miles.
