Thursday Track Report: A Blessing And A Curse
- Details
- Written by Bwana Bwana
We've been blessed with a pretty mild spring after a hot start, but it seems that summer wants to get a head start now. It was hot and humid as Jim Myers, John Domico, Judd Michael, Ken Davis, Greg Luna, Andrew Webb, Costas Maranas, George Lesieutre, Michael Goldfine, Tim Aydin, Mike Weyendt, Dana Todd, Meira Minard, Ann Marie Oldani, Rob Shaver, newcomer Dave Mengle, Rob Peterson, and Marty Mazur headed for the track. It's best to think of this weather as a chance to rehearse for the days in July and August when we are cursed with high humidity day after day.
Being Bwana is a both a blessing and a curse. Let's say it's a blurse. He wants to work his Crew hard, but neither wants to drive them away nor kill them in the process. Today was one of those days when Bwana had to choose to be "Good Cop". The workout was 6X400, but to be done slowly. And 5X400 was OK. Even 4X400. Didn't want anyone to need a nurse (or worse, a hearse) due to heat stroke. But remember, working hard will reimburse your effort many times over. Who knows? You could end up with the purse at your next race!
Well, 4X400 is a pretty light workout. Let's call it "terse". Several of Bwana's fold couldn't be bothered to immerse themselves in even 1X400. It only means that they won't be finishing first in any of this weekend's races!
