exciting race so far.

Yuki Kawauchi & Des Linden are beasts. Linden especially for helping Shalane out when she had to make a bathroom pitstop.

Daska & Yuki with the most guts so far.

Daska aggressively swerving all over the road to prevent people from drafting on her, beast.

hiruni wijayaratne is my hero now. not enough runners with short, muscular legs. respect.

she's awesome. really pushes it. making huge progress. responds to her supporters/fans/questions etc (a common theme among women athletes).

Also, trains with coach Hudson out in Boulder (i think). Her husband is an Olympian too (Luis Ortiz).

rest day!

From April IAAF has plans to change the athletics ranking system.

Quote

What's the change?
A new world ranking system - similar to those seen in tennis or golf - will provide a run-down of the best athletes in each event.

So in the same way that tennis' tour organisers, through heavy-duty number crunching, define Roger Federer and Simona Halep as the best players in the world, the IAAF will rank their stars.

It won't end the eternal bar-room debate, but it will attempt to provide an objective answer.

What rides on it?
Not just prestige. Qualification for IAAF events will move away from obtaining one-off qualifications times, distances and heights and instead be based on athletes' position in the rankings.

No longer will it be possible to bank on an early-season high-altitude outlier performance as a ticket to the biggest championships.
