Beijing 08 Olympics - Final Voting Round - Top 10 From Rounds 1 & 2

	Welcome To Iten, Kenya VIVA Colombia, Pasto, y Narino. Gracias Here are some points to help you follow my vid. 1. The town in the speedup is a shopping area in Iten, the Mecca of Kenyan distance running. Out of a population of just over 2000, 800 - 1000 are high level distance runners. 2. The rainy season happens every year from March to June and is torrential almost every day. Kenyans do not run in the rain!! They wait until it stops. 3. The boy in the video is Kipchumba Chirchir, he runs/walks 5k to and from school every day and herds cows and does chores after school. An example of what kind of life the past champions led. 4. Kenyans always run in groups, so if someone is having a bad day they are pulled along and energized by the group, this also leads to lots of friendly competition. 5. Workouts. Speed work on Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday at Kamariny track, the main track in Iten. Large amounts of people show up on Tuesday morning, up to 200 at once. 6. The race was the 800 finals at the KCC opener in Nyayo stadium in Nairobi. Asbel Kiprop did the 800, his first track race of the season and managed a 1.45 at 1800m altitude. What was even more amazing is that about 7 Kenyans behind him ran 1.46 / 1.47. Wow.... K I hope you enjoy. If I win, I will be taking my friend Kibet Rutto who I lived with during my time in Kenya. He has lived a life of poverty as a new Kenyan runner. It will be a great experience for him. Video submitted by Francis Coral - Mellon on May 11, 2008 View Comments Total Votes = 5848

	Coast To Coast Relay 2004 In 2004, eighteen runners from Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) ran from the Pacific Ocean to the Atlantic Ocean. Passing a gold-colored baton 24 hours a day, we ran down desert roads, mountain passes, and snowy highways; completing what is essentially a 1500 x 2 mile relay. Our goal was to better a time set 25 years earlier by another RIT team who first accomplished the feat. Debuting exclusively on Flotrack, this is a glimpse into our experiences along the 2,730- mile journey. We slept when we could, survived on energy bars, ran two miles when it was our turn and did something none of us will ever forget. Run Time: 27 minutes Featuring the music of Steppenwolf, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Motion City Soundtrack, John Butler Trio, Franz Ferdinand, Alain Giroux, The Strokes, R.L. Burnside, Don McLean, Los Umbrellos, Willie Nelson, and The Hives. Video submitted by Kevin Turko on February 5, 2008 View Comments Total Votes = 4186

	I Am A Runner Each summer our varsity cross country athletes spend four days at a cabin in the Sierras. It is a chance for the kids to set goals, bond, and run on beautiful trails. I wanted to put together a film that would capture the spirit of high school running, and focus on the competitive anticipation that drives successful prep athletes. The interviews with the athletes were a last minute idea we did as the kids were cleaning up the cabin and packing the vans for the return trip. They ended up being the anchor points of the film. Thanks to Flocasts for the opportunity to get this out there for more folks to see. And thanks for everything you guys are doing to promote the sport.
