I always used to brag about how much the indoor season was my favorite. Back when we had a track in the former McCann Fieldhouse (now the spiffy McCann Arena!), practice most days was a snap: Log off my email account in the office, walk down the stairs and voila! … start practice.
Obviously, things are a little more complicated now.
But with the start of our indoor track season of competition tomorrow at Yale, I do have to say that I’m very much looking forward to coaching inside. The indoor season has a certain feel and an intensity to it, with spectators and coaches alike right on top of the action on the track; it is definitely a departure from cross country.
One major stressor that is eliminated: Weather conditions. Perhaps, more than anything else, this is what makes indoor track appealing to both athletes and coaches alike.
Check back later this weekend for details and results ...
