The all ages meet at Emory was kind of a bust. Running into the wind, I got a poor start, was last at 50m but was able come back and not finish last in my heat - in a slow 12.42. Most guys in my heat were in their 30s, one guy was 47. I was the oldest guy on the track. It was my first 100m race since I seriously injured myself running one 13 months ago, and I guess I was a bit tentative. Not really my race, but even this poor time would be #9 in the world M55 last I looked. I won't post it.
Glad I did it, saw my masters colleagues and it was fun to see tiny kids as young as 5 yrs old race. Makes me think this sport has a future.
Stay tuned, should be back on the track by around the 17th or so. In the mean time, I'll be doing other things to stay fit.
Bill, I truly admire your attitude. Always truthful, optimistic, and forward looking. Saw those little kids as well and a 'few' reminded me and your Mom of YOU!! I seriously believe that you are among the very few which are blessed with 'True Grit'. EXCELSIOR!!
