Obstacles to Great Track Performances

There are many obstacles to great track and field performances.  In addition to my memories of early season lack of fitness, cold weather, rain, wind, strong opponents and large quantities of lactic acid, there was always the large bear that often climbed on my back on the backstretch.  But never did I have to dodge traffic on the track!

    If Harry had a car with him at Pitt Stadium in 1979 he would have run Felice over with it!! The fence would not have stopped him!

    ‎7th grade - a pole and pole vault standard came down onto the track a little too close for comfort during an 800. In high school, I had a teammate who had a "talent" for throwing discus out-of-sector and onto the track during practice and meets. Once in a team playoff meet, they left the starting blocks on the track after the 200, so we had to dodge them on the first lap of the 3200.
