It looked deceptively like Spring, and there was even email chatter that today would be the first outdoor workout of the season. But it looked warmer than it actually was. Jim Myers, John Domico, Tom Cali, Jim Moore, Marty Klanchar, Bob Cornwall, John Sheakoski, Judd Michael, Mark Fedkin, Marv Hall, Costas Maranas, Jonathan Thurley, Mark Traband, Dana Todd, Martijn Westhoff, Mike Weyandt, Mark Lee, John Wilcock, Jim Laudermilch, Jessica Wekke, newcomer Randy Moore, Esther Prins, Kim Nelson, Ann Marie Oldani, Janet Jonson, and Marty Mazur headed for the track under sunny skies, but brisk breezes. All but Myers, Lee, and Weyandt went inside.

Bwana spread the optimism: this might be the last indoor track workout of the season! Easy for HIM to say. He's got two weeks to make good on that because he'll be hanging out on the Med coast next week. But in anticipation of the move outdoors, Bwana gave the "benchmark" workout: 3X3X300. There were a few complaints after 2, so Bwana knows he chose right.

It was a good turnout, despite the eve of Spring Break. But there are a few people who still need to get out and get ready Spring racing. I know Greg Luna has some class conflict, Tara Murray is waiting for Springtime to do the final thaw on her frozen toes, and Cheryl Capone is nursing her bum tendons (unlike Bwana, who is chronically nursing the tendons on his bum). But where were Greg Dillon, Lance Bland, Ron Cunfer, and Matt Soccio? What were their excuses?

Note: As mentioned above, Bwana will be doing his track workout next week in the South of France. After hitting the tapas bars in Barcelona, taking a wine tour in the Côtes du Rhône, eating bouillabaisse and cassoulet, Bwana will need a few double workouts when he gets back. But you lot won't have those excuses!
