Apparaently, Putting Holes in Things Is a Thing

The holes in the back of the American Speed Skating uniforms that may or may not be the cause of failure on the oval, reminds me of the 1984 Olympic Marathon where Alberto Salazar cut many holes in his uniform for better cooling. It worked then about as well as it has for the modern day skaters. (15th in 2:14:19)

Holy Uniforms, Batman!
And Brannon Kidder tried a few holes in his hand in yesterday's One Mile duel with Mac Fleet. Three holes must be the ideal number as Brannon almost overtook Mac at the finish in 3:58:49.  That's 2 sub-4s in just 2 weeks!

    Rumor was Alberto went off course thru a rough neighborhood in East L.A.

    BTW, our wayback PSU singlets had about 2,000 holes...remember nipple abrasions???
