Field vs. Track

Published on 3 December 2008 in Training Theory

Congratulations to the University of Washington women’s cross country team for their recent national title.  While it was an exciting season to follow, its end means that the track and field season is near.  TrackShark.com, the internet’s leading track and field news site, just published a good article on their front page that discusses how the field events often take a back seat to the running events in our sport.  I probably think it is good merely because it quotes me, but click here to read the article here and judge for yourself.  The article does make me sound like I am complaining.  To the contrary, I really don’t mind being in a sport that is out of the spotlight, but it is important to note the barriers to success that it creates.

  • About Me

    I lead two lives: during the day you’ll find me in my suit and tie as an international tax attorney, but after work I’m training hard as the Swiss national hammer throw champion. Follow me as I work towards the 2012 Olympics and explore this site to learn more about the hammer throw and my various pursuits. Also consider donating to the Evergreen Athletic Fund, a non-profit organization I’ve founded.
