Olympic Trials: Days 2 and 3

Things have been pretty crazy here in Eugene and I just haven't a lot of spare time so I don't know how frequently I'll be updating this but I'll try to give you an idea of the atmosphere at least. Rupprecht finally showed up on Sunday at 3:30am as his flights were delayed, but he's here now and is rooming with me in the dorms for the remainder of the trials. The last two days have been some of the shorter track days and were both over pretty early in the evening. The races that did happen were certainly pretty exciting with a new 100m AR and the fastest time in the world by Tyson Gay, but for me, that was not nearly as exciting as the Day 4 races will be.

With the time spent at the track being shorter, the time off the track was properly utilized with quality runs on the trails, BBQs in the sun, and parties in the evenings. I spent a lot of my time at the Brooks house and with the Flotrack crew. To get the best idea of how cool these things have been and how much fun we've been having, you can go to Flotrack and follow the live feeds and many updates/recaps from the trials. However, if you do not have the time to browse through all that material, here are a few pictures to give you an idea of what's going on here in Eugene.
