The Road to Athens 2004, Part III
The US Men’s team defeated Honduras yesterday to advance to the next round. Now all they have to do is beat Mexico to advance to the Olympics.
In other Olympic-qualifying news, much closer to home: this past weekend was the US Olympic Marathon Trial in Birmingham, Alabama. The Olympic hopefuls ran on Saturday, and everyone else had a chance to run on Sunday in the Mercedes Marathon.
I did not run, but I did partake of the free beer after the race. Cheering is thirsty business, after all. There were some issues with the wheelchair race, but otherwise the event went off very well.
