Fractional facts
Puck Night did not work out as planned, Pekka Rinne is 0-6 in the Paint Bucket and he just struggles. Hopefully we can extend when we get the Preds back to Nashville.
Today we ran the 100 meter prelims and I got fractioned out and missed the Finals by 6 inches. We had 6 heats and you take the heat winner and next 3 quick for a total of 9. I was third in my heat with a time of 13.38 seconds, which also the time of one other racer. The time to make the show was 13.37 and we were outside looking in. The time difference amounts to 6 inches! A better lean or slight improvement could have moved me on, but it was not to be. The time was pretty good and I cannot whine about that. The knee is still off some and it has a slight numbness like pain, it is going to need a tune up when we return to Nashville. Tomorrow is the 200 meter prelims in the afternoon. It is getting hotter by the day and my shoes are starting to have track rubber stick to them. Bad sign to me about the heat.
Here is the heat sheet for the 100 m, hopefully it is legible.

Linda and I have eaten twice at a little restaurant in town called Real and Rosemary. The food is fresh, local sourced and really good. Today was fried green tomatoes, turkey with a gravy, and slaw which tatsed like a fusion of kemche and vinegar slaw and it was fantastic. Try it if you get in the area. We have two post race meals at the place and todya actually used the little discount that came in our athlete packet.
More tomorrow from the track at Samford University
