sprinting

I've turned a new leaf at age 51.5. I decided to give actual sprinting a go, and enlisted the services of an actual sprinter coach, Heather who's partnering with Ric generally in coaching some sprinters and youth. So yes I have two coaches right now. One was just not enough! Ric and Heather provide me about as complete a coaching package as anyone could hope for.

I brought a secret weapon to Saturdays 400 meter time trial... Kevin's gold shoes.

Lucky for me Kevin in a moment of despair about sprinting gave me his golden spikes, specifically designed for 400 meter racing. Kevin is a true sprinter. When you see his physique, your thought right away is "sprinter". Sprinting is fraught with danger as it requires all that explosive motion and intensity. For this reason Kevin has his love/hate relationship to sprinting and when it was not going well... I got these shoes. Thanks Kevin, if you ever want them back, they are nearly new.
