I'm gonna give you a little advice. There's a force in the universe that makes things happen, and all you have to do is get in touch with it. Stop thinking, let things happen, and be the ball. -- Caddyshack


**It's Hot Down There!**
In truth, we actually had perfect weather at the Texas Relays! However, the weather -- as most Texans know -- can change in the blink of an eye. As they say, "don't like the weather, just wait a while!" When we first arrived, the temperature was in the mid 80's and the humidity was climbing, but by Saturday it had settled down to a comfortable mid-70's. The funny thing is that many 'Yankee's' and those on the temperate coasts can wake up to a bit of a shock. My mom talks about the 1974 NCAA outdoor championship -- that was in Austin-- and wondering if her cup of soda sprang a leak? It was just condensation dripping from outside the cup! Dad was runner-up in the discus that day, too.

When you travel you can expect a few glitches, Sometimes you get some help like Laura giving me some chalk to keep my shot from slipping in the humidity --- other times your hotel 'forgets' to wake up any of us up and we nearly miss our flight. However, the more you travel the more you realize that this sort of thing happens all the time -- and you make plans for every potential issue. Some of our younger athletes now realize that my advice to have plenty of water was actually a good thing.
