TRACK EASTERN: Milestat Meet Champions

Malcolm,

This past Saturday, I competed at the 2008 Milestat Gala. I ran the 11o & 400 hurdles and the 200 meter dash. Besides the heat being in the high 90s, the weather was nice. The meet started at 5 p.m. due to the extreme heat. First was the 110 hurdles. I was feeling great during my warm-up; so I did a couple of starts over the first three hurdles. During my warmup I felt quick over and fast in between the hurdles. When they called for my heat I was ready to run. By me anticipating the gun, it caused me to jump out early. I clearly false started, so I stood up coming out the blocks. Once i saw that they weren't going to call it I had to play catch up. I came fourth in my heat and ran a 15.66. I felt like Daron Robles from earlier in the season.
I then competed in the 400 meter hurdles. I wasn't feeling to good about the 400 hurdles after the practice I had on Thursday. The 400 hurdle heats were seeded by everyone's 300 hurdle times. I had the ninth fasted 300 hurdle time posted. I missed the fast heat by one time. It turned out to be a good thing. I earned the 4th lane in the next heat. By the time we got to the 400 hurdles the sun had pretty much gone down, and it had cooledoff about 10 degrees. When my heat came, I just let everything go. I went out and attacked the first 3 hurdles good but not like I wanted to. I relaxed down the back straight running my 15 step pattern. Then once I got to the 200 mark, I turned it up. There was no one with me, I had passed the guy in lane 5 coming out the first turn, so I was really racing the clock. In the last 200 I dropped my steps between the hurdles from 15 to 17 and kept my arms pumping. When I crossed the finish line, I was so relieved. I felt like I ran a 54 but it was a 55.13. I was happy, it got me the win in the 400 hurdles. It put me #2 in the state of North Carolina behind my brother.
