Like a quarterback with a concussion
There is an unwritten rule in the NFL that a starter won't lose his job because of an injury. A player who gets hurt, will get the starting job back when they've recovered, even if the back up player has been playing well.
I guess a similar unwritten rule must apply to the U.S. O' Team. That's the only way I can figure that I seem to have been named to the 2003 U.S. Team (the "C" team, I believe). I tore up my leg in September of 2001 and have run only a couple of M21 courses since then. I can't have earned a place on the team. I guess the idea is that being injured shouldn't count against me. I guess that is ok. It is a surprise.
