no meet this weekend, then i’ll finish up my year with meets the next two weekends. finally i feel my race coming together. my start had been getting worse and worse and i finally realized that i was trying too hard to drive and stay low and it was causing me to overstride and not hit triple extension. my start is much better if i just “pop” out of the blocks, don’t think and just build speed naturally and then “float” at top speed. it feels naturally, is easy to facilitate relaxation in and i think will yield fast times. i won’t get to get into blocks to compare against the other kids on the team until tuesday but i think i will be much closer to them than usual and am foreseeing a big (at least college) pr next meet
