Florida Tech Invitational Summary
Sep 12, 2011
Wickham Park was besieged by an abundance of water, and all that comes with it; uncut, overly long grass, patches of soft clay—formerly softball fields--that quickly became quagmires, ankle-deep puddles, rugs of “hitchhiker” seeds that floated on every ripple, and half-drowned insects that clutched at the first leg that went by. By the end of the race, between the water, mud, rugs, and bugs, a slow-moving runner could gain ten pounds in unwanted flotsam. And that, in a nutshell, is why momentum was the key to success.
