That would be good news for Mackey! ;-)Scott Dunlaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16096284778835123584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-22782558788896877842011-08-29T22:58:11.015-07:002011-08-29T22:58:11.015-07:00Scott, I've been racking my brain and going th...Scott, I've been racking my brain and going through the previous UltraRunning UROY magazines. I thought the magazine only counted athletes that lived in US/Canada to be eligible in their voting. You don't have to be a citizen (which is why Nick Clark can get votes). Last year Kilian didn't get a single vote, and he wasn't listed in the top 100 mile times, even though his 3rd at WS100 easily was fast enough. I can't find any rules anywhere, so maybe I'm just mistaken?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13172205993662233102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-62260596323262005622011-08-29T22:23:13.336-07:002011-08-29T22:23:13.336-07:00Thanks for the letsrun tips - very interesting vid...Thanks for the letsrun tips - very interesting video.

Thanks for pointing that out. <br /><br />Nick Clark is another one who could be a contenda for UROY with all his top finishes, although I suspect the RD-heavy voting squad of UR Magazine won't take to kindly to <a href="http://irunmountains.blogspot.com/2011/08/utmb-dnf.html" rel="nofollow">blaming race organizers for a DNF at UTMB</a>. Too bad there isn't an award for "best ultrarunning season in a household with a newborn". He would win that for sure.Scott Dunlaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16096284778835123584noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860166.post-74051755449684759612011-08-29T11:02:19.811-07:002011-08-29T11:02:19.811-07:00Hey Scott, I agree with your comments on Killian a...Hey Scott, I agree with your comments on Killian and Mackey for UROY, but just wanted to clarify that it was Nick Clark who won the Speedgoat 50k this year (Mackey was not entered). Should be interesting to see who prevails in the voting this year.<br />Hope the Wasatch prep is going well, see you on the start line,<br />ChristianChristianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11862978104402477638noreply@blogger.com
