6/8/14 Sunday
It was a nice warm day.
Pretty cool to warm up and watch the young athletes perform.
Our heats were based on seed times and went from fastest groups to the slower.
For the 100m I was in the 4th of 7 heats, the other 45-49 yr competitors were in the 3rd heat.
I ran well, stayed under control and finished at 13.61 seconds, first place for my heat. A half second improvement over my Connecticut performance. This was good for the bronze medal for my age group behind Wayne Foulke and Jeffrey Grier.
In the 200m I was in the 7th heat, but these were pretty mixed up for seed times. I am still waiting for my results to post. It felt good, I was able to drive all the way through the distance this time. So it should be an improvement over Connecticut.
It was nice having the wife and kids there to cheer me on. I heard them loud and clear as I ran through to the finish line.
I also got to meet some great people; Renee "the jet" Henderson, and Wayne Foulke.
