Tom Pidcock is an absolute unit.
Can we also mention the insane crowds?
Leads the race early.
Puncture mid race.
Races back to the front.
Wins.
Iconic.

I think @EFprocycling is having a wrecker of a TdF. In the breaks, yellow jersey, KOM, stage win, three natl. champs. Just a banger of a year.
👑⛰️KING OF THE MOUNTAINS!!!
He’s done it! Richard Carapaz has the polka dot jersey ❤️🤍❤️

This is one of the most spectacular storms I’ve seen in Albuquerque. The sheer amount of rainfall, the amount of lightning, the wind…phew.
Thoughts on the Trials so far…
- happy for Quincy Wilson
- happy for Anna Hall
- sad for Mu, but what can you do?
- proud of Engels
- stoked for Nico
- wish Coleman made the team
- the 1500 men are gonna rock
- sad for Dendy and Andersen
The trials pull no punches.

Gallaudet University All-American Eric Gregory, who is Deaf, fields media questions after the men's 400-meter dash prelims. Eric's story is a national one even though @NBCSports did not show him. #TrackFieldTrials24
The thought of @NAUTrackFieldXC holding 5(!!!) collegiate men’s records between indoor and outdoor is absolutely insane.
Colin Sahlman set a new school and conference record in the 1,500-meter with a time of 3:33.96! His time is also second-fastest in collegiate history

That Pennsylvania improvement can’t come soon enough.
This is pretty special. My guy, Brian Shrader, is the top seeded American for the London Marathon and has a shot at doing something special.
Here we are in 2007, winning the regional 4x800 in HS.
JUST ANNOUNCED: Legend Kenenisa Bekele headlines the 2024 London Marathon elite field. He will be challenged by five other men who have run under 2:04 including New York City Marathon champion Tamirat Tola.
Don’t overlook last year’s runner-up Geoffrey Kamworor, who was second behind Kelvin Kiptum in a personal best of 2:04:23
Here are the men in the elite field with personal bests under 2:18 ⤵️
Funny story….my previous company named all their office buildings in alphanumeric sequence - Alpha, Bravo, Charlie, etc. They bought out an old state farm regional office and named it Jake by majority vote of the employees.
Let’s see…
Nikki Hiltz - 🥈- 1500m - Flagstaff
Bryce Hoppel - 🥇- 800m - Flagstaff
Hobbs Kessler - 🥉- 1500m - Flagstaff
Olin Hacker - 5th - 3000m - Flagstaff
Geordie Beamish - 🥇 - 1500m - NAU
They’re all training or trained in the same place. 🤔
What’s wild is this man is the world record holder, world champion, and olympic champion and he was throwing in the back corner of the Albuquerque Convention Center to a crowd of dozens.
Going to National Championship track races is wild. You’re sitting there with all the other normal people and also casually watching former and future olympians, world champions, and world record holders walk by. What other sport has that kind of access?
It’s a policy failure that the argument here is “buy a bigger vehicle to be safe.” We should be engineering roads for slower speeds. Investing in multimodal transport so everyone has safe, reliable transport while reducing vehicles. Not $150k vehicles that few can afford.
Ignore this at your own risk.
Do not put your family in a small car.
Yesterday, my wife was driving my son to school and an oncoming delivery truck crossed the center lane and hit her head on — the driver had a seizure was going 40 mph.
I was on my way to work in a separate car and got an emergency notification from Apple the car was in an accident and it had automatically called police (great feature Apple).
I called my wife — no answer.
I felt sheer dread and sick to my stomach. I immediately turned around and headed towards the location Apple sent.
The police were blocking the entire street — not a good sign.
I eventually got up there and found my wife and son who were okay, considering. My wife has a broken wrist and is shaken up but otherwise okay.
The officer told me if she were driving a smaller car it would’ve been fatal — we bought this Wagoneer a month ago…
I am so thankful they are okay (and the other driver is too) and that we chose to buy a large vehicle.
Please do not put your loved ones into a small car. In an accident the size and weight make all the difference.
Instead of the worst day of our lives, we’re celebrating my son’s 2nd birthday today with chocolate cake.
