[@jimoconnor8597]

Not just a great runner but also had a plan!!!! Sometimes that can help take your mind off of the race stress. Awesome guy for the sport

Convection. Spoken like a true engineer!

radiation too - so perhaps on humidity levels, radiant sun conditions, etc to select this minor strategy - where even minor aspects can make a diffierence.

Clayton Young is my hero of these trials : )

I wonder why he let Mantz win? He looked a lot stronger than Mantz today. I guess it was that Mantz let him win the 20k 🤷🏼‍♂️ Both amazing athletes.

Mantz had a bonus for the win according to a different video about it.
