0:00.0	Hi everyone this is Kevin Liao City Smag Contributor before we start the
0:05.4	podcast today I just wanted to take a moment to dedicate the podcast to Tyrone
0:10.1	McGraw who passed away last weekat-at-age of 29. Tyrone was a standout athlete at
0:16.5	Stanford. He's on both the football on the track teams. In fact he still holds the
0:21.6	school record in the indoor 60 meters.
0:25.0	But more than any of his athletic accomplishments, Tyrone was just a really good guy.

2:07.1	event by event and we'll spend I think no more than five minutes how's that
2:10.2	sound Kevin sounds good it's finally cooling down as everyone leaves town
2:14.4	and let's break this stuff down.
2:17.1	Absolutely.
2:17.8	So we'll go ladies first.
2:20.5	Women's 100 and we'll work our way up.
2:23.0	So if you're a distance runner,
