As mentioned previously (and just Tweeted), the men's 10,000-meter run with Riley Hughes and Matt Baffuto racing tonight was pushed back to 9:25 p.m. Pacific (12:25 a.m. Saturday in the East) due to heat concerns. The forecast high today here is 98 degrees. The extra hour will allow for the sun to go down and alleviate the bright, direct sunlight. The temperature does not drop that quickly in the early evening, so the race conditions for 25 laps of hard running will still be far from ideal, but this is a smart adjustment. Our goal for the men is for them to manage the conditions to the best of their ability and to compete to the best of their ability as well. It won't be easy; it rarely is.
