Pewow, Great racing.
#4 & #5 ground hogs were safely transported this week to the park were I have seen a couple fox. #5 hopped in the live trap without even any bait. Strange.

And hardly ever got to race in spike (usually concrete/asphalt).
Concrete and asphalt tracks?! Wow, never heard of that before. By the late 90s, I think all the suburban Upstate New York schools had upgraded to modern tracks. Most of the rural schools, too, I think. Usually only six lanes, of course.
My high school track was crushed stone. The inside lane would get compacted and worn to a decent surface during training, but the grounds crew would rake it all up as loose stone before meets. Horrible racing surface!They would also have to painstakingly apply the lime lane lines and start/finish lines before each home meet.
I really looked forward to away meets on cinder tracks. But many of those were raked loose, too. Like racing on beach sand. Crazy.
It's no wonder I set an 8-second one-mile PR immediately after my senior season ended. At a track club meet on a Tartan track.
Here’s a funny quote from Canova on a thread today that seems relevant to the lydriad, science blah blah discussion going on here:
“You are laughable when try to explain WHEN the doping can help (during the base period), without knowing what base period means. Maybe you have a lot of books of Lydiard, but athletics of today is different, and also about Lydiard probably you were not able to understand his system”
Allen - Wish that was the case. Small Catholic schools, either in the inner ring suburbs or Detroit proper. It sucked that you really could bust out the spikes most days, just had to go with flats.
