__/ QUOTE OF THE WEEK "It is very disappointing to me that it has taken five days to determine the official time of a race with this significance. I remain confident that I am the World's Fastest Man and I look forward to proving it once again. My parents raised me to be agood sport but I don't want to share the World Record."

-- Justin Gatlin, after Tissot Timing revised his world record 9.76 at the Qatar Grand Prix to 9.77, reached previously by Asafa Powell. http:// usatf.org

__/ RYAN SHAY ON USA MEN'S TEAM ANNOUNCED FOR BOLDER BOULDER 10-K "The 9th International Team Challenge, the invitational portion of the Bolder Boulder 10-K scheduled for Monday, May 29, in Boulder, Colo., will feature a youthful men's team from the United States.

Brandon Leslie, 30, of Albuquerque, N.M.; Ryan Shay, 27, of East Jordan, Mich.; and Matt Gonzalez, 24, of Santa Fe, N.M. make up the team. They will be ranked against other 3-athlete teams using cross country scoring.

"This altitude trained group is solid, experienced and competitive," said elite athlete coordinator, Rich Castro." -- USATF Press Release

__/ MRN ON THE ROAD -- MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO - We stayed at Novotel, the host hotel, toured the course and stopped by the Expo of the Mississauga Marathon last weekend. The courses of the marathon, half marathon, 10K and 5K earn A's from our casual tour. The growth in the race from 5600 finishers in 2005 to 7590 finishers this year indicate a winner for the third year of this event. We especially enjoyed our visit to the Port Credit waterfront area where all of the events finish. http://www.mississaugamarathon.com/

-- LONDON, ONTARIO - Dick Beardsley is a master story teller and he entertained and inspired all of us who were fortunate enough to be in attendance at the Forest City Road Races Pasta Dinner Saturday night. And Dick has stories to tell; if he were a cat he would have used up his nine lives by now. If you have a chance to catch Dick at a Pasta Dinner, don't miss it.

We think the changed start and finish lines at Victoria Park in downtown London are fun for runner, families and spectators. We'd like to congratulate Race Director Sonia Slaven, Promotions Director Brad Arndt, Announcer Paul Roberts, Rob Sleegers who helped us get interviews at the finish line, and the rest of the London team who put on a happy, fun and successful event.
