A brief recap
for now... a full transcribe from the RRCA archive when time
allows...
HOLYOKE, MA JUNE 9TH: Jim McDonugh, Millrose
AA's 40-year-old distance star, captured the sixth & final
Olympic High Altitude Training trial in 96-degree scorching heat
over Holyoke's rugged, mountain course. There were over 150
entries received by race director Walter Childs, but only 57
were willing to challenge nature's torrid conditions.
The
race actually started at 2:42 p.m. with the temp. reading 96
degrees in the shade. It must have been close to 100 degrees in
the sun.
