And I'm gonna be happily enjoying the view from the sidelines with you, Scott.<br /><br />I think it's funny how much weight people put on ultrasignup.com's rankings. It obviously doesn't list every single ultra that everyone has run; rather just select ones. Nor does it take into account "training" races, etc. But people are really into it. One of the sweepers in the Rumble didn't want me to put him in the results because it would negatively affect his ultrasignup score!<br /><br />This isn't meant to be a dis on Mark at ultrasignup, but rather just to show how anal some people are about some random stats. Just run, people.saschasdadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06920379008380900505noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-31056531755186795232010-05-11T12:24:17.040-07:002010-05-11T12:24:17.040-07:00Nobody has yet mentioned Killian Jornet.

It is his first States I believe but his record-breaking efforts lat year will likely have prepared him well.Brad G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06396190077729096629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-51940047324232881152010-05-10T18:44:54.354-07:002010-05-10T18:44:54.354-07:00Crazy list indeed.

A few of these guys will have to see their ranking drop, or drop before the finish since the ranking doesn't take into account the DNS.<br />Bets will be interesting to watch and track; some business to be made in Vegas on this! ;-)<br />Will be fun to watch from behind...Jean Pommierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12590228467214315945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-60969367433013417902010-05-10T17:37:20.163-07:002010-05-10T17:37:20.163-07:00...and then when you get waaaay down into the 80s ......and then when you get waaaay down into the 80s rankings, you still have Lantz, Rod Bien, Rob Evans, etc. Just like last year though, who'll be left to run as pacers?Eric@URPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09225677861906443935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-83598003303012672372010-05-10T14:59:41.643-07:002010-05-10T14:59:41.643-07:00Wish they had TV coverage of the event... :(

Also, a lesser known name to watch down the road is a guy named Andy Henshaw, just 24. Andy Henshaw just broke Krupicka's 50m record at collegiate peaks - a few weeks ago ran 2nd to Roes at American River. He only moved to Colorado last fall, is new to the sport and has been improving in big jumps. I don't see him beating Krupicka-Roes this year, but in 12 months, he might be the one everyone's chasing.Kieran McCarthyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11606919516884153997noreply@blogger.com
