40 years ago: I started my Freshman U-Lowell XC season in September of 1982, putting in 268 miles with 3 days off and raced once. Although I only raced the one time I sort of made up for it with five workouts during the month. Two of the workouts were the hill (363’ Whortleberry hill in Dracut) a 200’ climb in about 1/3rd of a mile. We broke the hill into ¼, ½, and whole and did various workouts on that hill throughout my time in college (and beyond). The lone race for the month was a dual meet against Brandeis at Franklin Park. We beat them and I took 4th place running a 25:14 for the 5 mile course.
