Races Like a Girl

I’m considering getting tickets for the Reebok Grand Prix, which is next Saturday evening.

This may be a true sign of madness.

It’s tempting, though, as the best seats are just $50. For nearly five hours of entertainment. That’s a lot cheaper than going to see “Mama Mia!” Heck, we spent $30 on movie tickets and Milk Duds to go see “Iron Man” yesterday.

Plus we won’t have to suffer the usual terrible television coverage:

• Inarticulate (and ignorant) commentators
• Pathological focus on the shorter sprint events
• Getting to see, if I’m lucky, the last 20 seconds of the 1500 and 5000 metre races

Hmm.
