The track at the National Training Center in Clermont, nestled among the lakes of central Florida, is rather like a volcano. Which is perhaps appropriate given the town’s namesake of Clermont-Ferrand in France, actually
is situated among the Chaîne des Puys volcano range. Surrounded by hills, the 400-meter oval is situated on a sunken “crater” and has a tendency to belch out fiery sprint performances; given the critical mass of elite sprint groups based on Florida, the Clermont track is liable to erupt at any time.
