    We all knew Rocky Hansen was special, but somehow he still managed to shock everyone. Looking forward to seeing how the rest of the season unfolds. Also, big congratulations to Graham Blanks on taking home the individual victory.

      He has a tattoo of number 2 on his back. I respect that. Everybody wants to be number one. Perhaps Nico is setting a new trend. Number 2 is the new number 1. Seriously though he beat a lot of studs. Samuel from New Mexico is going to be tough. He was 17th at the world xc championships in the senior division and he has already run 27:20 for 10000 at 19. Not a bad guy to beat among many others.

      In last year’s NCAA Collegiate Championships, their fifth guy came in 39th.
      Coincidentally the year before that their fifth guy also came in 39th.
      They’ve been national champions six of the last seven years (in 2019 they sucked - by NAU standards - and came in second.)

      Crazy that NAU’s 5th man was 33rd overall. Even crazier in the Women’s race their 5th runner came in 18th. Crazier still, NAU women have enough left over for a second team to run the B race and they won that too with their first three coming in first, second, and third.

  • @HugRunner

    Really impressive running and also the production in these conditions. Well done! Something else that I'm impressed about is the timing system. It seems like passive tags were used in this race, and most runners seem to have a green wristband on them. Anyone know if that's the tag for timing? Is there a tag on the bibs as well or any other place? At this density of runners I find it really "odd" that the reliability and accuracy can be this high. I time races myself with passive tags and mats similar to this, but haven't seen it this reliable as of yet.

      Running on the grass in the rain would slow him down a bit compared to the Chicago course, but surely he would be up at the front and continue on for 5x longer at that pace, which is still hard to wrap your mind around.

      @machineofadream 8 місяців тому +2

      Well, isn’t the smartest thing to let your coach handle that? When I ran XC and track, many of the top guys on my team routinely ignored what the coach asked for in any ways they could. Eating fast food before a big meet, not training on the weekend when the coach asked them to, etc. I'm talking about one guy who won a state championship here, too. When you have success, sometimes it can also make you a bit arrogant. Why listen to the coach when you're already good? But Graham Blanks just won Nuttycombe and still wants to let the coach call the shots. I say he's smart.

The coach and athlete relationship should be 2 way relationship. Especially so at the professional level. Most NCAA coaches run half their athletes into the DL. Grant Fisher leaves Bowerman because Schmucher overtrains.
