Lovely morning at the Apalachee Regional Park running trail.  I ran a bit before helping out at the workday to get the course ready for the XC season.  The State Meet will be there at the end of the season, as well as 2 or 3 other races.  Did three hours of cross training with a rake, loppers and an ax - big fun.

I had seen that the state meet was shifting from Dade City this year on Delaney's schedule - says "FSU". How does it compare to the Dade City course/venue?

Yes, "FSU" being the home course for FSU XC. Its actually on County property adjacent to the solid waste management facility (da dump!). Its awesome - it also will play host to the NCAA Regional XC Champs in the fall. Main difference from Dade City is that this is a dedicated running course for humans - not horses. It may lack a little in the spectator-friendliness aspect, unless you like to move about and get into the action - then it is 10-times better than Dade City. If you're bored on Sept 8th, come on up - Travis is racing there and they are including a community/open 5K.
