Beijing 080808 Video Contest

The Beijing Games are the most anticipated Olympics in a generation. The once closed country of China has invested billions of dollars to throw the biggest and best coming out party the world has ever seen. TrackandFieldtours.com and Flotrack are teaming up to get you and a friend to the Olympics. TrackandFieldtours.com is the best way to catch all the track action in Beijing. It's so good that a lot of their clients are the athletes' family and friends. Track and Field Tours owners, Adam and Jessica Dailey were both Footlocker finalists and ran at the University of Arkansas who, like us at Flotrack, saw a need in our sport and decided to do something about it. The best uploaded video will win a track fans dream vacation, a trip for two to the 08 games with tickets to the track events. For more info about the wining prize and about the community's own Adam and Jessica Dailey click Track and Field Tours.

Win a trip to the 2008 Games in Beijing, China!

Run to Win
A little training background leading up to a race that seemed to parallel the 1972 Olympic 5000m. Well, at least the 4th place finish did. Im not trying to compare myself to the all mighty Pre here, just comparing how the two races went. Windows Movie Maker.....tried my best.

Sorry, but you're not Pre. You're just a guy who went out too hard and got smoked...

Kevin Ondrasek   March 9, 2008 at 8:10pm
Haha I'm not trying to compare myself to PRE!!!He's not even my favorite runner. I just used it as a theme for the footage I had.

Travis Kocurek   March 18, 2008 at 11:43pm
Hmmm..Great video! I think all these harsh "critics" are probably a bunch of fat idiots who know nothing about what it takes to be a great runner. They watch the olympics and compare every runner to an olympian. What a terrible falacy. Gutsy performances and that takes A LOT of heart. I appreciated watching this video and I wish you could have just held on a little longer at conference! JUST LIKE PRE..ONE MAN MADE THE RACE AND ANOTHER MAN WON IT!!!!! HATERS!

Rockrunner_x   March 19, 2008 at 8:01pm
pretty cool wish you would of used without limits or actual race footage
awesome move from three laps out to; ballsy
reply  
Adam Ward   March 19, 2008 at 10:40pm
i liked it kid! keep up the good work. Perhaps if you had waited just half to one more lap, but I think it took guts!!! That is what it is all about. Those that criticise probably don't have the balls to even try a move like that. Nice work!
reply  
Chase Wade   March 20, 2008 at 10:08pm
you do realize you probally would have won that race if you had waited one more lap before going, great video though
reply  
Chase Wade   March 20, 2008 at 10:10pm
And no he isn't in high school, are you kidding me.. That was big 12's you idiot.. Did you not notice the kenyan from tech or the guy in burnt orange from UT. Don't ask retarded questions. They were all like 2:27 or something

Awesome. The logbook is the best part.
reply  
Adam Santos   March 30, 2008 at 10:59am
Cool video. I'm not a Prefontaine mega fan, but I liked your theme and your two races did parallel a lot. Like someone else pointed out, the log book was the best part of the video. Good music choice during your race as well. Nice video!

Xtx   April 19, 2008 at 3:28pm
funny funny , cool parallel between a 5,000m race and a 1,000m... what possessed you to make a move like that any who? lol

Xtx   April 19, 2008 at 3:29pm
wait, let me guess, the spirit of Pre...
