We have 3 meets left in the 2020 World Indoor Tour. I did this video just before the series began and forgot about it. Last year, when I went on the tour, I really got into it. I loved visiting the cities, the athletic facilities, and enjoyed the excitement of the meetings. This season is no different, except I am remotely observing the series from snowy Wisconsin.
When I did this podcast, I was planning to go to Europe. A last minute sponsor cancellation caboshed that idea and we have been working with our writing team to cover the events. The podcast is fun, short and informative.
I can tell you this: the intimacy of the small facilities, the involvement of the announcers, the fans applause, and the competition of the athletes, all makes for a masterful night of athletics. Get to these events in 2020, or plan to see all in 2021.
Enjoy the podcast. Special thanks to Mike Deering on the production of this podcast.
