Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 5162564, member: 405"] Back in high school, I could do 56 in the quarter; pretty good for a small school. So in track, coach tried me out on the 440 hurdles, since it's not like a school with 90 kids in the graduating class has hurdle specialists on their 20 person track team. I went tearing down the track and wiped out at the first hurdle, over and over. Never got the hang of it. Never could get smoothly over the hurdle, and those are the low ones. A week or so later, he asked me to try the pole vault. Lots of speed but no upper body strength. As with the hurdles, it was an afternoon of one wipe out after another, until I just gave up. [/QUOTE]
