[FarmTeam]

Started thinking about ACC Champs next week. I can't say enough how ridiculous it is that (a) the team has to fly to North Carolina (but that's obviously the reality of being in the ACC...I blame Muir's incompetence), BUT (b) the men's race starts at 9:30am eastern time! It's a competitive disadvantage to fly across the country and then have to race at 6:30am on their body clocks. It will be November and weather will be plenty fine: hey ACC, how about a noon eastern start??!! I don't care who you are, getting up at 4am and racing at 6:30am, especially as a college student but true generally and certainly for me as a post-collegiate runner, is really, really difficult. Sleep will be poor, legs tired, etc etc. F the ACC!
