Sprinter*mt (Masters Track) Training Journal

FYI: 42 yr old male sprinter - Ran High School Track 1979 - Came back to track 2001. PB - 100m - 11.69 (2003) 200m - 23.90 (2003) - Some injuries along the way: 2003 ended the outdoor season with a sprained arch - 2004 tore left calf in Badger State Games 100m final, 6 steps into the race. And a nagging right hamstring tendon attachment that’s always there but does not limit me much.

Badger State Games Finishes- 2001 - 100m 3rd place (30 - 39), 2002 - 100m - 1st, 200m - 2nd (40 - 49), 2003 100m - 1st, 200m - 1st (40 - 49), 2004 - 100m - DNF.

Hoping to over come injuries and old age for 2005!
