Thursday, October 10, 2002 Michigan A-meet thougthsFive thoughts about this weekend's A-meet in Michigan:Read the map That's my strategy -- read the map, let the running take care of itself. Old man on Blue I'm running blue. I'm not really in shape to run blue. But, I entered a month or so ago when I was coming into decent form. Since then, I've struggled with illness and feeling a bit out of it. Still, running blue should be fun. Since I tore up my knee/leg last year, I've been wondering if Pawtuckaway would be my final blue race. I didn't really want my final blue to end up with me being carried out of the forest and sent to the hospital. If nothing else, finishing the blue course at Michigan will feel like an accomplishment. The terrain should be fun I've probably done a dozen or so A-meet days in Southern Michigan. I like the terrain. The terrain is generally pretty flat, but with some interesting contour features. The contours are typically rounded and there can be some interesting low knolls and depressions. The forest is generally pretty runnable and the footing is good (very few rocks). There are typically some uncrossable water features that can help make for interesting route choices. Weather The forecast calls for warm on Saturday and cool and rainy on Sunday. I'd much rather run two days in a cool rain. Good company Four OKers are travelling together to the meet: Mary, Dan, Terhi and I. Shifman will be there. I don't know of any others. posted by Michael | 9:39 PM
