Conversations with Larry: Day Four of the USATF Outdoor Champs: a mess of 200 meters, 5000 meters, a steeple and the 110m hurdles

This was the last day of the USATF Oudoors. I was crestfallen. After four days of perusing the 55 item salad bar at Ruby Tuesdays, I had grown rather fond of Urbandale, Iowa. We had a parking spot in close proximity of Drake Stadium, and we found a Starbucks drive thru, and we were off to the Stadium.

Then, the rain came…and it rained, it poured, it thundered and we hid underneath the desks in the media room. Once the weather gods stopped being Scandinavian, the meet came back to life, and we were satiated once more by our sport of athletics.

The Shoe addicts caught it all. My deep thoughts, my feigning of emotions, my near breakdown in speaking about Evan Jager, or my worshipping Shelby Houlihan, or my bidding of adieu to Des Moines.

Oh, so long day four.
