I ran my second race here in Europa this year in Alcala, ESP. It was a disaster. First, i felt crappy. My allergies and asthma always bother me in central Spain due to the dry dusty climate. Second, there was lots of confusion at the call room. This is the first meet I have ever been to that that required a passport to check in! needless to say, I didn't have mine, and the disgruntled lady behind the desk did not want to help. So I just go to the start line and there is another problem. I dont have a bib number on my back. So, I had 3 Spainiards shouting at me that i could not run.
On to the race. I stumbled out of the blocks, then went to fast for the first 4 hurdles. I slowed coming home then smashed the final hurdle and almost fell. It took me 8 seconds to get from hurdle 10 to the finish. It normally takes me 5.4. Soooo, on to the next rinky-dink meet to work out the kinks. Would be fun to run in a big race soo. I have my fingers crossed for London.
