Set those VCRs for the distance events.

For all of you folks who love to hate U.S. TV coverage of distance events, 
you're in for a treat tonight(ESPN2/1am-3am EDT). Just as last night's 
women's 10k got extensive coverage, so will tonight's men's 10k. In addition, 
there will be a pre-race interview with Haile Gebrselassie, complete with a 
surprise visitor! If you can't stay up that late, make sure you set your VCR.
