Earl Fee skipping Oshkosh to nurse injury, prep for Lahti
|
Canadian masters legend Earl Fee has opted out of Oshkosh, he’s informed meet organizers. He won’t compete in the 200, 400, 800 and long hurdles (or set M80 world records therein) because he tweaked a leg in practice recently and wants to rest up for the real prize later this summer: Lahti worlds. Although this list of athletes shows 972 entrants at Oshkosh, some will be no-shows, including M45 cross country specialist and blogger deluxe Pete Magill of South Pasadena. He’s not flying to Wisconsin, he tells me. Meanwhile, Bob Weiner has put out his annual press release, highlighting some of the stars coming to nationals. Have a happy Fourth, y’all, and see you in a few days.

Happy 4th all…see you in 5 days…can’t believe we’re that close.
You’re getting psyched, Mellow Johnny. Current weather conditions (it’s about 2:50 pm EDT, 1:50 pm EDT in Oshkosh): in Clermont, Florida, it’s 89, but the heat index is 98. In Oshkosh it’s 73 with the heat index also 73. But remember, Mellow Johnny, that Florida is more than heat and humidity. That sun will burn your arms and face in less than 20 minutes, believe me. In addition, it gets hot very early, 7 am or even earlier. By noon you are exhausted.
Mellow Johnny, take a look at the posting on packet pickup below (about five stories down), I have asked for your opinon.
