track and field

For all those who complained about how cold it's been, well Saturday's Central Coast Section Track and Field Trials at Gilroy is expected to reach triple digits.
As a former sprinter/hurdler, warm weather is far better than chilly climate. But 100degrees is unbearable.
Today's all-weather surfaces are great for speed. But the heat that bounces off them increases the temperature as much as 20 degree on the track.
Heat sucks the life out of you. Shade and liquids will be an athletes most important strategy.
