On to Wake Forest U.

Today we left Wilmington after 5 nice days of training and good weather.  We arrived at Wake Forest U at 2:15pm for a light workout on the track.  Boy, it was hot!  Us northerners are not use to the bright sunshine in March... our team has already used 2 bottles of sunblock.  Tomorrow is the first day of the Wake Forest Open. Judging by the entry lists, this will be a very large meet. The men's 200m has 179 entries, the women's 1500m has 112 entries.... we are expecting some crowded heats on the track for the 1500s.  Good practice for getting our tactics into play. 
The weather tomorrow and Saturday is expected to be around 80 degrees and bright sun. It's going to be a challenge to keep the athletes cool and convince them to stay in the shade during the day.  It's so tempting to sit in the sun and feel the warmth that we've missed during the winter.  However, we need to stay focused on the meet and getting in some good competitions. 
Results will be posted live at http://www.flashresults.com/.  Go Bulls!
