It's been seven years since I last competed in the 400 meter dash, but even today the thought of the event sends pangs of anxiety through me. Still, I miss that unique combination of euphoria and physical pain that can only be achieved by 50.7 seconds of all-out sprinting.
It's been nearly 16 years since my last competitive 400m (47.8s ;) ), and your description is so perfect! Even now, so many years later, I can still SMELL track and field in the air every spring, and it makes me ache--nostalgia and hamstrings. Well done.
ReplyDeleteI still miss seeing you run.
ReplyDeleteIt's when you finish and your butt becomes uber sore, that you know you ran the race as hard as you can.
ReplyDelete400 m is a tough one.
