Live Blog Over at 3000 Miles
If you're here now, you shouldn't be. We've got a live blog going on at tothetrials.com, as we document the hot night of mid-D and distance action at the Trials... 800 Finals, Women's 5000 semis, and the Men's 5000 FINALS.
So head over and chime in.
So head over and chime in.
Greetings From Eugene
Today we start Week Two of the Olympic Trials. Obvi.
I hope you have enjoyed my complete negligence of any sort of writing since we've gotten here. At 3000 Miles to the Trials, as in life, Ben has been picking up my slack.
But we're excited to bring you a live blog from Eugene today, since there's a fantastic lineup on the track, with finals for the men's and women's 800s and the men's 5k.
And, dancing hippies. Lots and lots of dancing hippies.

To the Trials We Go
As Jeremy pointed out in his previous post, we are headed to the Olympic Trials in Eugene after this weekend. We will be driving there, which means we should probably start planning on how that's going to happen. Currently, neither of us owns a car, or a bank account, and I lack the attention span to drive for more than an hour without picking up a dangerous hitchhiker. In preparation for the trip, we will spend the weekend sipping pounding $9 beers while watching the Reds at Yankee stadium then working on our tans (and our table manners) up in the Hamptons: the usual.
Needless to say, we're really excited about the trip and being able to do the same thing we have been doing here at LTOB over in so-called Tracktown, USA. We hope all of you guys follow the "action" over at TOTHETRIALS.COM and let us know what's the what in the comments. We will still be updating every now and then on this site with pics and tidbits too "racy" or "obscene" for the lightweights over at 3000 miles.
Then, we will be back on here after the trials are over to give the real scoop on Eugene. You know, who hooked up with who, who woke up in women's underwear the morning after their 1500 final: the good stuff.
This trials is gonna be a big one, folks, so dust off that old Springsteen album and jump around a little bit, we won't tell.
Finally, if you live in the Columbus, Ohio area and want to wish us well, or throw boiled vegetables at us, visit the Second Sole in the Stoneridge Plaza at the corners of Morse and Hamilton in Gahanna, OH. We'll be there sometime between noon and 4pm on June 25th. Hopefully. So it would be best to just block out the whole day and hang out with the Sole crew. I here they smell nice but love to give wedgies, so watch out.

What They Didn't Tell You: MEDIUM-SIZED ANNOUNCEMENT
Well, we feel we owe it to you, our reader, to address the rumors I'm sure many of you have not been hearing: that LTOB will be powering down during the Olympic Trials. We must admit to you, our reader, it is true.Now you may ask, Ted, How can we stop ““covering”” (sarcastic quotation-marks doubled, to convey depth of sarcasm) track and field during the biggest domestic track meet on US soil? Well, I would reply to you, our reader – Ted – first, that saying “domestic” and “US soil” is redundant. And second, Did you ever think that maybe we have lives too? That maybe we would like to just sit back and enjoy a track meet for once? Instead of constantly struggling to master this baffling language to express our thoughts on the sport in a way that doesn’t come out looking like duck orange pretty chips taste smutty?
These are the hypotheticals with which you would be assailed. However, here are the facts: we neither have lives nor like sitting back to enjoy track broadcasts. (It’s like the age-old saying goes: “You can take the Larry Rawson out of the NBC booth, but you’re still going to be stuck with Carol Lewis.”) But here's What They Didn't Tell You:
WE ARE GOING TO EUGENE FOR THE OLYMPIC TRIALS!
But wait! There’s Less©! Not only will we be going to the Trials, but we will be documenting the whole experience, VIDEO-STYLE in a little “show” that answers to the name “3000 MILES TO THE TRIALS.” Do we have tickets to the meet? No! Do we have a car to get there? No! Will we lose our jobs by taking that much vacation time? Most likely!
No matter. All the goodness from our journey can be found at a little URL we, and your browser, like to call tothetrials.com. We hit the road June 24th. Until then, we will be maintaining LTOB to the fullness of our inabilities, while also posting some new content at tothetrials.com, as well. For those of you that facebook, you can go to our page over there to make sure you don't miss out on contests and the like.
So check it out!
