Yes/No: Twelve Women Sub-40 at Victory 10K?

Labor Day. Time to get the kids ready for school, take that last chance to hit the state fair, and of course, run in the Victory Labor Day races. The Minnesota Distance Running Association's 28th annual Victory Races will take place in Minneapolis on Monday morning.

Locals know Victory as a great place to run fast. The course is flat and straight, and there is a high likelihood of good running weather.

How deep will the women's 10k field be this year? Let us know what you think with an answer to this question...

Y/N: Will twelve or more women break 40:00 at the Victory 10k on Monday?

In 2009, twelve women broke forty minutes at Victory 10k. In 2008, there were only seven. 2007 - twelve, 2006 - thirteen, 2005 - thirteen.

To play our game, simply type "yes" or "no" into the subject line of an e-mail and send it to us at DtBFantasy [AT] gmail [DOT] com before 8:00 A.M. CST, Monday, September 6th. Please put your answer in the subject line of the e-mail and make sure your full name appears somewhere in the e-mail. We will continue to offer a bonus for participants making their debut in Yes/No - a correct answer will be worth two points for any first-time players.

My answer: No

The fantasy contest question from last week was: Will Antonio Vega finish in the top two at the USA Men's 10 Mile Championship on Saturday?
The answer was yes. Vega ran 47:43 for second place. Twenty players answered correctly last week. Gregg Robertson moved up one spot and is now tied for first with twenty-one points. The Y/N winner for August was also Robertson. He was the only contestant to go a perfect four-for-four in the month.
