We were going to go to the track tonight to watch the ponies run, but a storm blew in, so we decided to settle for Mexican seafood instead. The ceviche tostadas were the hands-down winners on that front, but that's not really the matter at hand.
Today is the first day of the Olympic track and field trials in Eugene, Oregon, and I want to make my picks public in advance of tonight's race. Most of the events today are preliminary heats, but the women's 10,000 meter final goes off at 9:20 pacific time. There's a field of 24 runners. Here's my exacta for tonight's race, the three Olympic qualifiers in the predicted order of their finish:
1. Shalane Flanagan
2. Kara Goucher
3. Katie McGregor

Close call: Flanagan took first and Goucher finished second. However, Amy Begley beat out McGregor for third.
Oops! I called my picks an exacta, which is only the top two finishers. What I actually offered was a trifecta pick.
