Day 1
I ran the 200 meter preliminary today and finished 11 th at 28.41 seconds. I am out for the 200. It was rainy and breezy conditions. I felt OK, got warmed up good, let it rip. I did tie up around the 150 meter mark and struggled to the end. I was in second and was passed around 160 mark. So I finished third in the heat. The official results are on www.finishtiming.com . The tab for the NSGA is on the right. M 55-59 200 M preliminaries.
Tomorrow is 50 and 400 prelims. The weather looks like it will clear and I will try again to make a finals.
The relief after finally running at this level is immense. The fact of not knowing if 'you belong' or are 'just wasting your time' really helps. I am alot more relaxed now, know the drill so to speak and need to step it up, these guys are fast and seasoned veterans of this gig. I belong, but I need to get better and get my training right and not have injury setbacks that are real speed killers.
I doubt I will try this as a 59 year old, but I will most likely give it a shot as a 60 year old.
