100M
The biggest bust was the 100m. Since it was an all ages meet with so many heats, in an effort to speed the meet along and avoid false starts, the starter 'quick started' the races with a very short set time, probably less than a second. I don't think I was even set. Many of the college and HS sprinters complained about this. The gun took me by surprise and I got a slow start. Even worse, since I happened to be the 6th oldest guy in the event, I wound up running in the slowest heat with M55-M65s. It was ridiculous, winning the heat by 40+ meters. I know I can run faster. Under the right conditions, I still think I can go under 12. I just run so few 100s each year.

| Toward the finish in 100m 400M Probably the day's best effort, it was exhausting, more so than most. Unlike my 55.32h where I stayed fairly strong throughout, I ran out of gas in this one and lost some time at the end. Still it was my second fastest FAT 400m this season, 56.16. I had lane 5 and like all of the day's races, I never saw anyone. 200M I felt like a 'walking wounded' before I started this one, got out ok and got the record. It was ok, no PRs. I will definitely have to get into the pool this week. Won't be able to do much meaningful training this week, hopefully by Monday I can do something. Next week's meet will be a much better situation, if I can recover. 400m Saturday morning, 100m Saturday night, 200m Sunday morning. This was the last meet of this season I will attend with Roya, our 7th. She is responsible for all these photos all season long - (most of which are actually video stills). It has been so nice to share this with her. Thank you sweetie. |
