Today was the second day of the senior Olympics. It was hot again. I had the same goals as yesterday: don't hurt myself, have fun, don't pass out from the heat.
I competed in 7 evens today: 1500M run, 400M run, 100M run, 50M run, standing long jump, triple jump, shot put. I kept my runs very controlled. Last year I pulled my hamstring in the 50M and it took months for it to feel better. I am happy to say I did not pull my hamstring even though I ran the 50M twice.
The first run of the 50M we were lined up to run. The woman in the lane next to me was younger. I learned from last year not to try to keep up with a 50 year old. She shot out fast and was ahead of me. This was okay. I saw her start to stumble then her legs buckled and she went down on the track. I stopped to ask if she was okay and help her up. There was a nurse there who came over to help her. Then I finished my race. After it was over the officials let us run the race again since there was an injury. So I ran again. I did not pull a hamstring either race.
I had a good day.
Jim had stomach issues today and stayed home.
