The Week Ahead: Many Top Teams Racing Before Holiday Weekend

Varsity Girls Race from Starrs Mill last year

Hurricanes are always scary. I hope that everybody that is in the path of Idalia stays as safe as possible and that anybody who planned to travel to Florida for a meet this weekend is respectful of the difficult week they've got this week. I hope that as a country we've learned how to stay as safe as possible during these sometimes extremely dangerous storms. And even those of us in the metro area look like we're in for a rough day tomorrow with the storms all day, so stay safe!

However, what Hurricanes often bring behind them is low pressure air with very little humidity which offers a break from the intense humidity that we normally experience this time of year. I was looking at the weather forecast for this weekend and all it listed was "Gorgeous" for Friday afternoon and Saturday morning. That's just in time for these races. So after a fairly hot month of August it looks like we will all get very nice weather for the race this weekend. That usually means fast times if the course is fair and/or fast. And that's exactly what we've got coming up with the premiere Starrs Mill Panther XC Meet. It's absolutely loaded with teams who are likely to be at the top of the team rankings. If everybody is at full strength there's no telling how this one will go. It's very exciting. The other big Georgia meet this weekend is the Run at the Rock in Cratersville. And as always, a few teams are making the trip to the coast for the Jekyll Island Invitational. It should be a fun weekend of racing all around and I can't wait to see the performances the athletes put in.
