Speedgoat 50k in Utah certainly gave us a deep field of competitors, with Killian winning, but not winning. He followed European rules on a US course, won the race, but didn’t bag the cash or the record. Confused?

Anton had a “shi##y day”–his words– at Speedgoat, but toughed it out and finished fourth. Or was it third?

Meanwhile at White River, Sage Canaday killed Anton’s CR with a 6:16.  Dayum.

Ed is back! From FB: After a long layoff due to injury, Ed (81 yo) was back on the track today, running a 6:13 1500m (Age graded 3:47) at the 41st Ontario Masters Athletics Outdoor Championships.

The “asthmatic advantage” at the Olympics?
