MAAC Championships, Day 1: Wind/rain 2, Pete's umbrellas 0!

Yowza! What a DAY at Rider University. In terms of weather? It pretty much ... sucked! We had the gamut of horrendous early-season track weather -- chilly winds, chilly rain, mud, puddles ... hey, even one of the Monmouth buses got STUCK in the mud! That made for good entertainment (it did finally get extricated). Mostly? It sucked! Oh wait. I already said that. And, oh yeah: It's NOT early-season track anymore. It's late-season track! Geez. Despite this? There were numerous really excellent performances across the board in the ever-competitive MAAC. Tomorrow's weather looks a little bit better ... but not by much! It won't rain as much. But it will be windy and cold. In my quest to be ever prepared for the conditions, I brought two umbrellas. Both of them were destroyed in the wind. Yikes. Onto Sunday!
