Speaking of "American" and "going to see him up front," our friend C.J. Albertson, the self-titled "best downhill runner in the world," is entered. Albertson ran the downhills from Hopkinton to Framingham so hard in 2021 that he was out of sight of the lead pack, and even though he visibly flagged climbing through Newton, they didn't catch him until Heartbreak. Albertson is also the 50km WR holder and ran a PR 2:10 at the Olympic Trials in February.
