There are only a few races on Day 1 of US Nationals that will award an actual Stars and Stripes jersey. The rest of the day is filled with “B” races. Before reading this year’s predictions, be sure to check out how I did last year. I will unveil a modified points system tomorrow along with Day 2 predictions. For now, here’s who I’m looking at tomorrow:
Masters Men
55-59: Gary Thacker
60-64: Phil Bannister
65-69: Rob Lea
70+ – Last year there was a 70-74 Champ and a 75-79. Based on that:
70-74: Ronald Riley
75-79: Walt Axthelm

Points System:
5 Points – Correct Prediction
-1 Point – Each place my prediction finishes out of first.
-3 Points – DNF (more…)

The change in weather was welcomed by the thousands of fans who attended the mid-week race in the Czech Republic. The 2500 meter course was a very traditional cross course that started and finished near city hall in the town of Hlinsku. (more…)
