When you watch track and field for the first time, you may wonder why the sprinters seem about to punch someone – okay, milers, too – while meanwhile the pole vaulters are all hugging one another. The latter have learned a lesson – you compete against the event, not against each other. You can learn a lot from track & field. About yourself, if nothing else.
If you haven’t already discovered this book, this may be the greatest track biography ever written. I don’t think Kenny Moore could have touched this. I am only 50 pages into it since I read it only at breakfast, but this is fantastic.
Not so fast, my friend.
