highschool track closed -- alternate middle school gravel track

 


They knew I was coming, so they decided to resurface the HS track for the next 14 weeks.  I guess this middle school one will be what I use (if I use it).  I recalled it wasn't quite 400 meters and they put out cones in the middle of the bends (lane 4) when the kids ran the mile in PE.  Google maps seem to confirm that.  It's 393 on the inside.  400 if I put a virtual cone in "lane 4" of the bends.  Maybe they put the cone in lane 8 to get 440 yds for the mile?

With my now super accurate garmin, I might not even use the track.  Just find a flattish spot (hard around here) and use the watch distances.  Or just not worry about any of it.
