The meet was in Kingston Ontario
|
I did some secret training on my own in the months before...
|
Thats my coach, he's great.
|
I was a little under the weather before the meet because I was working
12 hour night shifts...
|
Thats me in the back with blond hair, hee hee. and mom 'n bro.
|
Even though I had won the 800m the previous year, I wasn't expected
to this year...
|
Mom 'n coach in the stands, they didn't think I had a chance...
|
Thats Rob in the dark blue in the middle
|
He didn't win, but he ran an ok race.
|
My 800m semi-final, I'm on the left.
|
Coach Russ watchin'
|
That guy ahead was favoured to win, I let him win the semi... (top
2 qualify)
|
Me with my shirt off at 155lbs. I lost 25lbs 'cause I was sick
bafore
|
Some dudes from school, my girlfriend, at the time, on the right was
mad 'cause I didn't talk to anyone before my race
|
The 1500m, from a little before my race... some guys I knew were in
it, Matt Kerr won.
|
About five minutes before my race it started pouring.
|
Me in the middle... this is my favourite picture... nerves!!!
|
1st lap I was in 3rd and decided I'd either come first or collapse
before the finish...
|
I didn't collapse...
|
...until after the race, thats me on the ground, hee hee
|
Man, was I happy, and completely wasted...
|
I looked like hell, hee hee, but I felt great!
|
Theres my bro'
|
Next was the 4X400, theres the team, Me, Rocky, Mark, Alex
|
Rock started, and handed off to Mark a little behind...
|
Mark caught some and handed off to Alex...
|
Alex ran a great race and handed off to me...
|
Look at those nervous guys, hee hee
|
Well, we came second, but it was better than anyone expected.
|
Done
|
Us, after da' race
|
Finally, my girlfriend could talk ot me but she was a little pissed..
|
Coach Russ sure was proud...
|
Hee hee, I guess everyone was smiles then.
|
Flashback, lining up in order... it took me longer to get up then it
did to run the race.
