U.S. Olympic Marathon Team Trials are finally here. The event will be televised on NBC at 1PM EST. Good luck to all who run.
I always find watching road races from the back of a lead vehicle or televised interesting seeing the different paths runners take. The good ones are close to the curbs on corners and running the tangents.
The U.S. Olympic Marathon Team Trials course is made up of a 2.2188 loop followed by 4 x 6 mile loop. See course map at: http://www.usatf.org/events/co...p?courseID=CA15078RS The course was measured by a heck of a team; Ron Scardera, Doug Thurston and Mark Neal.
