Day 269: Time trials

Cross country time trials were held today at Lake Erie State Park.  For years we've been using the park for home meets.  Of course, we never know what the weather will be.  Some years it has been horrendous with heavy rain and wind, runners splashing through low lying areas covered in mud,  but today it was spectacularly beautiful!  Gulls covered the old dock with one odd duck nestled among them.

Mark and Carol have divided the team into four sub sets with a range of abilities.  When the kids took off, the top runner from each team stayed behind for a minute and then sprinted out.  Fifty-nine runners participated today which is down significantly from several years ago.  There were years when Steve was the modified coach that he and Catt had fifty by themselves.
