Yikes...

11.70

24.26

Click here to see the proof of the embarrassment.

I'll post more about it later, but the gist of it is this; I am injury free still, but exposing a delusion is never a good time for the one with the delusions.

I will touch on this quickly though...

I think if I had been told, before I started "training" heavily for this, that all I'd manage is 11.70 for this race...I might have not bothered trying to compete again at all. But, now that I'm in it this deep now, I'm ready to keep chasing the "dream". At least for the rest of this season, anyway. Then after running at the July meet, I can reassess if this is still all worth chasing beyond this year.

But that result is admittedly sobering, I gotta be clear about that. If I wasn't as old and been through as much I've been through (life, injuries, kids, etc.) I'd be pretty depressed about how this turned out. Luckily....I am old and worldly now. And I can bury that depression waaaaaayyyyy down....

I guess I'll go ahead and enter the July meet, considering I'm healthy. In my next post I'll go into more details, plus I'll explain in depth how I plan to drop 1.2 seconds off my time in one month.

Again...yikes.
