June 14, 2011

I didn't get into the Adidas meet and my plan was to rest that weekend. However, my coach, Joey Scott, and I, decided that I should compete, because the break in between my previous and next competition would be too long. 

My competition in Clermont, Florida was good. So competing on June 11^th would have allowed me the opportunity to compete and run a fast time with legal wind.

I had two rounds in the 100m. In the preliminaries, I ran 11.22 with a negative 0.4 wind.  There was a 3 hour break in between the rounds, so I had quite a bit of down time. Even though the time was long, I only did half of my warm up, because it was extremely hot and I was already feeling a little exhausted from the heat. 

In the finals, I ran 11.14 with a negative 0.2 wind.  Ok now, I know you might be reading this and saying "wait a second, that isn't 11.13." Ok, let me explain. After I ran, it was reported that my time was 11.13 (11.133 to be exact). However, when the results were posted online, that time was rounded to 11.14. I was disappointed, but the next time I step on the track I just have to break it by a bigger margin so I wouldn't have any issues. So sorry, no national records this time.

My next competition will be at the Hampton Games in Trinidad and from there I am competing at the CAC Championships. I will be running the 100 meter and a leg on the 4x100 meter relay.

Until next time
