I saw the final results and read the minute-by-minute report on RW. It's kind of disappointing that Kara Goucher only got third. I thought she could've definitely done better. Hall finishing third was not a big surprise. Didn't expect him to do much better. That's all I caught of the race.

Yeah I was really upset when I saw that Kara got third, especially since it was only by seconds rather than minutes. But she tried her best, and she definitely finished better than she was ranked too.

Kara made a strong move on heartbreak, but couldn't muster the kick in the last mile that the Africans could. She did great though.

I was looking at pictures and results during my TV Studio class (we do the morning announcements at my school). Then I got yelled at for not working. :D

I was at school and didn't have any class time that used the computers today :(
Then I had a meet after school so I didn't even find out the results until like just 10 minutes ago!

But yeah, Yayyy Kara and Ryan. I think they did really good even though they got 3rd  (smiley with the american flag...we don't have that one anymore)
