https://www.directathletics.com/results/track/53187_3512175.htmlI'm so proud of the 200m. Really, so proud.
So, I was placed in the slowest heat (heat 5), justifiably. Then, out of nowhere, they are like "Andrew Darqui Lane 7" in the 2nd fastest heat. With guys who ended up dropped 21's. I started laughing at that point, but then tried to focus. So I get into the blocks, start solid, by 50m a SWARM of beasts just fly passed me and I just start hysterically laughing. I was laughing the rest of the way until the finish, and I am still laughing hours later as I type this. Not entirely sure why I keep laughing when I think about it, but it really is hilarious when you think about it. I mean here I am, first track meet, and they move me from the 5th to the 2nd, with the big dogs. I just can't get over it. At the end of the 200m, I just jogged off laughing. I couldn't even go max I was just cracking up too much. LMFAO.
I guess now I know i'm capable of sub28 in the very near future. I'd have hit it if I wasn't laughing so hard. LMFAO!!!
The distance guys thought I was nuts for doing 200m after 1600m. I mean, even they were laughing. I guess it's just hilarious no matter how you look at it.
3200m I was toast. Wanted to help pace my friend for at least a mile but just had no gas and didn't feel like coasting it out at a weak pace. So just DNF'd & watched it.
Next meet, i'll just do 1600m & 200m, no 3200m. This way, I can give more on my 1600m.
As for the 1600m, my estimated time is probably way more accurate than the official time. I was planning on doing that start on the curved line (waterfall?) where you cut in real fast. Then, last minute they tell us to get into lanes and I had no clue what to do. So I followed some kid and we went out wide, probably didn't cut in correctly.. Probably legit ran ~10s further than a mile.
Anyway, happy about it. Was fun.
Can't wait to do another one!
Also props to my dude Junior Rosa who got 2:07 in the 800m, at like 49 or 50 years old! Such a monster!!
^^ when I tell you I couldn't stop laughing, i'm serious.. some still frames from a video, of me laughing all the way to the finish.. LMFAO.my friend, age 50:
