USATF Masters Outdoor National Meet
Last weekend I ran and jumped in the USATF Masters Outdoor National meet held at Eastern Washington University. This is my second USATF Outdoor National event and I enjoyed the meet and had a lot of fun meeting people and doing some competing with the best in the world. I was in the High Jump (4th), 100 and 200 (4th in each) 400 (5th) and 4 x 100 and 4 x 400 relays--both were Gold medals. Just like every meet the goal is to make the finals, score some points and do not get hurt too badly. I made all the finals, scored 15 points for the team and also finished up with just a minor complaint from my right foot and both Achilles. With all those bases covered it had to be scored a success. I am still seeking the elusive individual medal, but I had a shot in the 400 and I think I screwed up in the final straight. But, it was fun, and Linda got to visit a part of the world she has never experienced. This is a Lane1--Dave Albo picture. The weather was typical for Easter
