You beat me to it. I'm thinking that maybe Wardian has no clue about his chances. I guess I like that, but at the same time you have to be realistic. Although, watching him run the JFK 50 will be interesting - I think he has a shot to win if he recovers quickly. I know he has never run an ultra, but obviously with the amount of marathons this guy does a year and how quickly he does them, I think he is more suited for ultras.
On a final note: Let's get all of the predictions in by like 8PM tonight!!! (can't have anybody submitting during the race tomorrow - that would most likely be Dave)

Well, we had a four way tie between Dave, Jeremy, Rob and Justin. All four of them picked Hall to win and Sell third. Then if we go to time, Rob is the winner picking 2:09:11. So, I'll have to call Rob and let him know he can afford an expensive meal in NY now.
To Abdi - this is the second time you've screwed me. I picked you to win US Cross in February. Why do I keep picking you? And to Mr. Dan Browne - you showed huge balls today my friend and you deserved a spot on the team for sure. I wish that you would've gotten into 4th because it looks like Ritz will not run the marathon in Beijing and instead we get Khalid to run for us and who knows what he'll throw out there. Most likely in a championship race he'll give us a DNF. At least I know Browne won't throw in the towel. I still have to give props to Khalid though - he hung tough and ran a very good race and proved once again that even not in his prime he is a factor.
Congrats, Rob! I personally think he should automatically be disqualified for picking Wardian, but I guess we'll let it slide.

Hold up here...I just realized that Browne got 6th. I had thought for some reason that he was 5th. That changes things and means that Jeremy is our lucky winner... He is the only person that got three right getting 1st, 3rd, and 6th correct. So, sorry Rob...hopefully you get over the pain of having 50 bucks for a minute and a half in theory only to have it taken back.
So congrats, Jeremy! And I'm still mad at Abdi!!!

Congrats Jeremy. I just read that Ryan Shay died at the race. They said he collapsed about 5 1/2 miles into the race.

Ryan Shay pronounced dead at 8:46. Sad news from what looked to be a great race.

Saw where his splits stopped coming at 5k. That is pretty sad news on what was without a doubt the greatest day for the future of American distance running in a long time.

Trials Recap:
We are at the 2, 11, 16, 22, and the 200 meter mark for the finish during the race. We saw the runners 5 times. We are in the sea of people. Just look for Luke's hair during each lap when the camera pass the crowd, when they pass the mile markers above.
Shay collasped less then 800 meters away from us. Really, scary struff. Wardian lead for the first 6 mile (5:15 pace). As soon as they picked up the pace he was done. Finished like 2:32.
It was great to see. Hall was so strong. It was amazing. We have lots of pics, so I'll send them around when I get home.
After the runners were clear, the Cops let the fans run the course. It was coolly, goodly, and bestly. The course has one rolling hill and a good down hill. Temps were like 48.
All for now.
