photo and meet schedule

I've not committed to a full season schedule, but I did register to run the 400m only at the Vanderbilt Commodore Invitational Sat. Jan 13.   It will be not only a test of my 400m fitness, but a test to see how well my feet will hold up to the stress of racing.

Oddly, I was able to go through the registration process with no permission code required for the Vandy meet.  It's possible that all 3 of the Vandy meets are set up this way.  I've seen it before that this happens sometimes by mistake, they set the registration up online without the filter of a coach's permission code, then they change it closer to the meet.  Not sure what is going on here.  Maybe my registration didn't get flagged because I entered under a team name:  "USA Masters" ... instead of as 'unattached.'

Last Aug., my old friend and former student Jon stopped by on what was my last workout of the season.  He's a pro photographer and he got this detailed B/W photo of me settling in the blocks.  Looks like I was rocking back and forth just before blasting off on an event run from the 400m start.
