2019 Doha Diary: The RunBlogRun Podcast on WC Day 2!

The second day of Doha WC was hot. How hot? When one left the confines of the air conditioned Uber, to walk the mile to get into the Khalifa Stadium. The first night was horrific as my heart meds took the exact moment to give me a bit of dizziness.

Coffee with Larry, Some thoughts on Mike Fanelli, competitor, coach, elite manager, husband, friend to many, esteemed track & field historian

Getting into the stadium, the exactness of the air conditioning was disconcerting. The power of the A/C was overwhelming, as we took water, as often as possible. Adam, my son, and I went to our seats, as David Hunter, a RunBlogRun senior editor, kept us up to date.

Each sessions, 4 pm to just about 11 pm, followed by 3-6 medal pressers. Watch for the pressers upcoming. This is the podcast review of Day 2, September 27, 2019.
