ESPN couldn't be more disappointing in their televising this event. Looks like they sent a golf cart out in front of the leaders then had somebody on the back of the cart with a hand held camera filming the leaders for TV. The camera is bouncing around so much you can't even watch it without getting motion sickness. It would be much better if they just put a tower out on the course and used a telephoto lens to telecast it.


Other than that, UT has two of the three leaders so far through the first 14 minutes of a 6K run.

Yep - I was right, but it's not a golf cart but rather a John Deere cart with a bed in the back that they are televising from. Apparently nobody told them the course is run over a golf course - and they decided not to use the cart path on the course.

Must have been a number of complaints so they are now using stationary cameras set up at various points on the course and occasionally going back to the bouncing camera on the cart to show the leaders. Joy Chirchir leading and Faith Linga in 3rd. Runner from Miami is in second.

Now the runner from Miami has made a break and has about a 20 yard lead
