Our topics;

1. Looking forward to the USATF Indoors, Feb 22-23.

2. USATF HQ hotel is 30-90 minutes by traffic from Ocean Breeze Athletics Complex.

3. Not sure why a hotel on Staten Island not picked for HQ hotel.

4. Lots of athletes missing from US Indoors, but due to how many elites are handling long season and #RoadToTokyo.

5. Lots of old stars and new stars coming. Shelby Houlihan will be at first US champs in four years, and hope she is treated with respect. She served her time. Perhaps we can stop the burrito bullshit too.

9. 800 meters for men and women will be full of surprises.

10. New streaming deal for USATF. USATF ended long relationship with Runnerspace, and now with a new partner, quite unknown.

11. Love the presser, looking forward to it!
