Haven't had a chance to watch yet, but looks like it was an exciting race. Jay you mentioned consistency as the single most important concept of a distance runner and I completely agree. Doing all the GS and strength training is going to allow the runner to help create that consistency. I am 100% with you on that one! Jay and Renee,

They completely ignored the first 75% of the race and only began coverage once Renee has a 10 or 15 meter lead. If I hadn't read Coach Kedge's color commentary below, I wouldn't have known what transpired early in the race. I'd be interested to know what here 1K splits were and how they compare to the pre-race plan that you and she had established. In any case, congrats to a great (former CU) athlete and her (former CU athlete and) coach Jay: Watched the meet coverage on ESPN 2 last night.

Congratulations Renee (& Coach Jay). Is there a link up to the race yet? Thanks for also pointing out that this race was made for Renee over a year ago. Good luck at World Cross from the Bear Creek HS distance crew!<br><br>Surreal moment today-was running Waterton Canyon and thinking about how WC is Denver-metro's version of Mags, when Oscar ran by with some of his kids! The Canyon is not near as brutal, but is turning into its own little mecca for HS'ers on the weekend. YAY! Congratulations Renee (& Coach Jay). Is there a link up to the race yet?

However, I think the altitude conversion for a 3k at Albuquerque is about 14 seconds, which puts her under the time. It seems that if they have a National Championship at altitude, they should factor into account the physiological effects on race time. Your thoughts? Jay

ESPN2 tonight at 5 Mountain time.

A couple of Magnolia notes for you.
The PUMA sign is not the shoe company. it is an acronym for a neighborhood association “Protect Unique Magnolia Association”. They do a road clean-up etc.

One thing that you left out of the story is the footing. Wet, muddy Magnolia Rd. suck the energy right out of one's legs, so those times are very impressive to me.

Not all of us Magnolia residents have post-traumatic stress syndrome ;-)
It is scary and frustrating to drive up here at or below the speed limit but come around a blind turn and find a bunch of runners fanned out across the road.
I sometimes run before sunrise on Mags and even though I wear an orange reflective vest, I jump out of the way of the plow trucks and into the snow banks. Those things are massive.

Anyhow, enjoy Mags, but please try to be safe (r).
