May 23 London 5000m Preview

UPDATED: Final Schedule, and heats for Marauders

This Wednesday marks the outdoor track season opener for many of our Marauders at the first meet of the 401 series in London. The race features what will be a solid Women's 800m, an epic Men's 800m, a crazy deep Men's 5000m, and a super fast Women's 5000m with Olympic standards on the line.

The men's 5000 will be very exciting as the triathletes alongside Jordan Bierema and Ryan Tice will be gunning for massive PBs. Perhaps more importantly though, their manhood will be questioned as Megan Wright and Megan Brown may threaten to chick these boys on route to Olympic standards.

Here is the performance list link, and we'll post an updated link to heat sheets once they are available Tuesday night. See London Runner for recent news.

We'll be on twitter (@MacTrackVids) trying to following the event through live coverage by Greg Lariviere (@G__Rivs) and Trackie (@TrackieGroup). Trackie will also have videos posted at Trackie.ca. Trackie also has prerace interviews on it's website.
