I just think he's such a talent - last year he ran a marathon around the streets of San Francisco 2 days before the race, didn't carry any fluids (had to lay down in streams, peed brown at the end), but still fought Nick Clark so hard in the final miles that he made Nick's pacer with 2h29m marathon speed dry heave.<br /><br />Also, do you think the WS organization cares at all about some folks' starting up of the UROC?Bretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02376446409534942024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1899309861714342259.post-31128954166115801082011-06-04T05:50:41.885-07:002011-06-04T05:50:41.885-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Bretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02376446409534942024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1899309861714342259.post-39424828097727962212011-06-03T20:40:01.963-07:002011-06-03T20:40:01.963-07:00Don't under estimate Koerner.

However, geoff has been unbeatable so far (in 100's) and I'd imagine that killian will be gunning for a win and racing smarter after getting so dehydrated last year. I'd put those two at 1 and 2, with nick and hal close behind.johnmichaelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05865875897342028783noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1899309861714342259.post-46772871160076679452011-06-03T12:57:26.448-07:002011-06-03T12:57:26.448-07:001.)

It'll be interesting to see what they do with the course and that could have a significant outcome on these predictions. I'm guessing they'll go even tamer than last year with lots of roads and pavement in the early part meaning an even bigger advantage to the "runners" over the "mountains". They just seem to be going that way these days with the masses needing aid every 3-4 miles. Not a bad thing, just the truth. Two years in a row with no Lyons Ridge or Red Star Ridge would be a bummer. As "epic" as last year's race was it had nothing on the course Morton torched in 1997.

Geoff and Killian will be tied for 1st entering the track in Auburn for a sprint finish. Geoff takes it by a whisker, literally, as Salomon seems to expect stricter grooming standards for its athletes than Montrail. Onlookers will be reminded of the end of the movie Talladega Nights, mostly because of Killian's resemblance to the Borat actor. Soon after, Nick Clark crosses the finish line in good form.<br /><br />1. Geoff <br />2. Borat<br />3.
