There were brutal conditions at the small college USCAA XC Championships in Lakeland, Florida today. Ninety degrees and 95 per cent humidity led to many collapses and heat stroke among the runners. Six ambulances not including the 2 originally there. One ankle fracture too!
Daughter the Elder did not fall victim to the heat but to an aggravation of her wrist fracture after getting bumped 2 miles into the race. I'm really proud of her season anyway, and especially her Academic All-American status for the Conference.
