Excellent point, did anyone else see Sara Sigmundsdottir climb underneath that table after finishing Midline Madness? She was doing anything she could to get some shade, poor planning for conditions.
How many tents do you see at a sporting event?
Tents at a warning track on a baseball field? Tent on the sidelines during a football game?
The majority of athletes hit the tunnel right after the heat was done, there were big *** fans at every corner of the field for anyone on the field to use for cooling down. Matt Fraser hung out by one for a while after the soccer chipper.
Athletes need to deal with the conditions. Was it hot? Hell yeah it was hot, but I've worked football games in September where it's just as hot, and dudes are wearing helmets and pads.
The whining is becoming laughable at this point, all over the interwebz. Talking about changing venues, making it indoors, changing the dates of the event to a cooler time.
The funny thing is that it isn't coming from the athletes.
You have to deal with the hand you are dealt.
Nobody says to cancel the NFL or NCAA Footbal season because the season starts with extreme heat (September) and ends in extreme cold (December).
If people want CF to be taken seriously as a sport, you have to deal with anomalies... and injuries. Theres a difference between training and competition. In training, know your limits. In competition you push those limits, because if you don't someone else will.
