I got myself and my kids down to the fence on the bowerman curve to
watch this race, and it paid off. I wanted them to understand the
speed from up close rather than what we were seeing from the stands,
and Wheating gave us all a show we'll never forget. Okay, my 10 month
old might, but he clapped anyway. He high-fived us on his victory lap and seemed to
appreciate every fan. The 1500/mile distance is my favorite as a fan
and a runner, I'll be back in the stands just weeks from now rooting
for this guy to pull out a top three. I know, a long shot, but I think
he has a few more seconds in him, and if the race starts slow...
