Re: The WC Golden Challenge

Oops - I forgot to enter my tie-breaking M1500 meter time.
I'm going to say 3:32.90.

BTW - thanks for having the contests!

For some unknown reason since boyhood I've always been driven by a compulsion to make (T&F-associated) lists. And participating in these contests actually makes me feel like there'e at least some value in this curious, obsessive activity! ;-)

As defending champion, I am waiting until the last minute to post my picks, so the rest of you cannot copy them, and then tie me for first, with all correct answers.
