Alex L. Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Today was our district track meet. I placed 4th in the high jump with a 5'10" jump and earned a spot at the regional meet next week. Nothing too exciting, just something that I'm happy about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spankis Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 How tall are you? I briefly did high jump but wasn't especially great. I ended doing 100/200, then I tore a big chunk out of my hip coming out of the blocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I ended doing 100/200, then I tore a big chunk out of my hip coming out of the blocks 6'2" tall, best jump of 6' even. Gunning for a jump of 6'2" this upcoming week at regionals. What exactly did you do to your hip? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it was a tear of the labrum, or something in that area. I was at the time just told that I pulled some "cartilage" away from the bone.... dunno.

Alex L. Posted May 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Sounds painful. What were your 100/200 times? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spankis Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Sounds painful. What were your 100/200 times? Not great. I can't recall my 200, but my best 100m time was 13.2 I believe. I was one of the quicker white dudes . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex L. Posted May 20, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 Very nice. I've been a jump specialist that's been thrown into some races here and there. My coached timed me with an unofficial 12.7 100m in time trials this year, but that was with a stopwatch, so I'm not sure how accurate that is. You remember what you jumped?

I don't remember what I jumped. I never did it in an event, just in practice with the guys who did. I liked discus too, but started it too late. I liked track man, even if you weren't the best at an event, there are plenty of other ones to be bad at, so at least you're never bored . Boy I sure do need to finish writing this paper....that'd be good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Akula Posted May 20, 2009 Report Share Posted May 20, 2009 I went to Fogo De Chao and ate meat until I was sweating it, had good wine, port, creme brulee. Later we went and had 4 or 5 pints of Guinness. That is my kind of track meet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
