Puck Night !
Nashville is in the thick of the Stanley Cup finals and Nashville has embraced winning hockey in the Music City! Tonights game in Pittsburgh is pivotal to who wins the cup. Go Preds! We are at tthe races but we are watching right now.
I did race today at the National meet in Birmingham. I ran ninth or last in the finals of the 50 meters. I ran a 7.33 time and got a great start but had just didn't have the speed. Linda videoed the race and it appears my right leg has some problems with crossing under my left hip when striking the ground. I know it has been hurting, but I am going to need to doctor on this deal. I know it did not help my speed but you race what you got and right now, it appears I need a chassis tuneup and alignment.
Tennesse had a lot of medals today in the 400 meters and field events. We have a very large athlete count and it appears we are producing the medals. Go Volunteers!
Tomorrow is the 100 meters and all the big guns will be running, it should be fun. We run in the morning and will get to miss the afternoon heat. Thanks to the scheduler. The weather has not been overwhelming, but it is the South in early summer and the clouds have been helpful in knocking down the sun, but when it clears, it is hot! It appears we will be getting some 90 degree stuff on the weekend and that will test the mettle of all the athletes. They did have an accident today at the 50 meters finish line where a women athlete fell and apparently broke her arm. Ouch.... they did bring the ambulance onto the track to carry her to a hospital. I have seen no other real injuries , except for the occasional hammie failure. Let's keep it safe the rest of the way.
If anyone is interested in the scoring, go to www.xpresstiming.com for real time timimg and heat sheets. No failures in the timing today. They are changing the starter on a very frequent basis and we have not had the chance to "time" the starts and it has been keeping the racers honest. It is like playing Blackjack on a six deck deal. The meet personnel are USATF officials and have been doing a pretty good job thus far..
More tomorrow
