Valentine Invitational

Finally, I raced again. After three weeks of training and no competition I got to see what all these days on the practice track amount to; a 6.39 in the 55 meter dash. Thats not terrible, but not good either. Kenny G and I left for Boston Friday in the AM, and got there at like 4 PM with the stinkin layover in the middle. By the time we got there it was snowing and the T station from the airport shut down, so we had to hop on this shuttle bus with 193 other people to the hotel. It pretty much sucked but i enjoyed listening to the McBostonites talk. The departed was on point with how the city is. So, back to running...I felt aggressive getting out the blocks for the 1st time in a while, but all that aggression led to a stumble about 10 meters in and messed me up for the next 45. I've invented a new place to trip up in the race. Usually you'll stumble the first or second step, maybe the third but tripping on the 6th is just retarded. And in doing so i kept myself from going to indoor nationals and getting over this hump of actually participating in a national meet. Anyway, somewhere in the race this dude, sideeq or something like that, passed and actually beat me. I'm not so sure if losing pissed me off or the fact that when I went to shake his hand he snubbed me like he was the s**t. So i told him "i'll see you at the trials," knowing he wont be there. Hopefully I do see that little scrub again so I can give him the business. Hey, At least I beat Kenny G in the 200 and got to see Fenway park.
