This is my daily chat with #RunBlogRun viewers and track fans on all things track & field!
This is Coffee with Larry for Tuesday, August 13, 2024.
Coffee with Larry is sponsored by OMIUS, the cooling technology partner for RunBlogRun.
OMIUS provides cooling technology in hats, visors, and headbands with cooling beads. The cooling beads are soaked with water, every 30-45 minutes during your workout or race! Thanks to Jay Weber and Mike Rouse for introducing me to OMIUS!

Our topics:
1. The quality of the broadcast in the US was pretty good. NBC did the evening shows, and Peacock did the morning shows with a global media team.
2. The Sprints were exciting, and the relays captivated the fans!
3. There was not a boring event for the entire 11 days.
4. The middle distances (800m-1,500m) were fantastic!
