Sneak preview of my Eugene Olympic Trials blog
This coming Thursday, I'll take an Alaska Airlines flight to Portland, and then to Eugene, for a little track meet they hold every four years or so. Some of our masters track friends will be there --competing in open events as well as exhibitions. It's the greatest meet on Earth! The Olympic Trials. And I'll be reprising my 2004 Sacramento blog, which drew thousands of visitors from around the world. I hope you'll visit my Eugene Trials blog as well. My first entry is up, and it relates a story I told in 2004 of an Olympian who failed to qualify for the Athens team. He was asked if he'd be back for another try in 2008. His reply: "Absolutely not -- no chance." Of course, he kind of changed his mind. His name? Jeff Hartwig.
