Video/Article of the Week: The Best Race I've Ever Seen!!!!!
You have to watch this one! Over the weekend American Evan Jager, Nike teammates with my good friend and high school teammate Matt Tegenkamp, ran the absolute best distance race I've ever watched an American run! We talk a lot on our TEAM about taking chances, and wanting athletes to push themselves to their absolute limit. This is the best example I've seen of an athlete going for it, and being willing to take risks in a race. If you do not know anything about the mens 3000m steeplechase, then you should know 2 things.
Here are the links to the race videos, and a post race article. These are definitely worth your time!
