Track Season

I never realized what an intense sport sprinting is. It is really hard on your body and if you are slightly injured at all you cannot perform. There is a lot of technique that goes into it too. You have to take on the curve just right, keep your upper body relaxed, take off the blocks just so, and finish with enough power to shave off a few hundredths of a second. I love watching Brent race. It looks like he was always meant to run, he has this long gorgeous stride and makes it look easy.

This race at SUU was so exciting! Brent's hamstring was bothering him and when he pulled into finish I could see he was in a lot of pain. We waited patiently for his time and when we got it we found that he had beat his personal record and finished the 200 with a 21.61!!!!! That puts him 2nd going into Nationals for the Great West conference.

This Wednesday Brent leaves for Texas for conference nationals. I am so excited for him and I wish I could be there, but I'll be here, praying for him. He races on Friday or Saturday..... WISH HIM LUCK!!!!
