Tomorrow: 1200 meter race
Johnson vs. Gomba
A battle of epic proportions:
Slow Twitch vs. Fast Twitch
Lactic Acid Threshold vs. Lactic Acid Tolerance
Experienced 5th year vs. Freshman

They meet at a distance where neither should have an advantage over the other. What Johnson needs to do is simple: Drop Gomba with an honest pace. What Gomba needs to do is even simpler: stick and kick.

These are the moments that define us. Beating Johnson can be that initial spark that Gomba looks back on as the moment his collegiate career took off. Beating Gomba is that feather in the cap for Johnson, as he decides between a 1500 or a 3k at the tri meet.

This race will have only one victor. Will it be Johnson or Gomba. In the words of Craig Mottran: "It will come down to the size of your balls."
