First U of O Track Meet

Got season tickets for the U of O Track meets as an early birthday present! We went to the preview meet this past Saturday. It was cold (and hot chocolate cost $3.00 for a 12 oz. cup.) but it was worth the chill.

I stepped down onto the track level and watched the 200m race. The runners look fast from up in the stands, but on the track level... it's a bit more, well... fast. These athletes are strong, lean and determined. That's what makes it fun; watching well trained athletes put their hearts into it.

This was just a preview meet, but it was still a record attendance. So I can't wait until the next meet on April 5th. It's a new reason to love spring!

More later.
