Too bad. Note that the latest AccuWeather forecast for Baton Rouge is slightly more demanding than the previous one: 93-91-89-91 for the four days. <br /><br />If memory serves, USATF Masters has done day-evening only once (Baton Rouge 2001), never coming back to it. It was absolutely brutal for me as the announcer. This year I will not be in Baton Rouge, and so it won't affect me personally, but I do wish you and the other sprinters good luck. The distance runners also need relief, but maybe they will spray them with water from hoses (I do not know the plan).<br /><br />Peter L.

In other words, you will be catching a bit of a break. I will be shocked if they go with a day-evening schedule, even though that was the case in 2001 (the last time they had the meet in Baton Rouge).<br /><br />Peter L.
