      Joe A. I don’t understand what your point is. I’m not saying that woman are as fast as guys because that’s just not true because they’re different biologically. What I was saying is that elite woman are still noticeably faster than middle schoolers in hurdles and shouldn’t be made fun of by being compared to middle schoolers just because they are at a biological disadvantage.

    Hurdles are hard. Especially if you've never done them before. Technique is SO MUCH more important in these races as you lose all momentum when you mess up. I haven't run hurdles in almost 20 years, but if properly warmed up, this is really the only race I could challenge Nick in and win. He would smoke me in literally anything else though!

    Hurdles are so frustrating. They’re my main event in track and I’ve been running them for over two years now. Hurdles are by far the most technically demanding event in track, there’s so many things to worry about that can go wrong which makes it so difficult and hard to progress quickly with.

    If you ever want to try this again:
    1. Stand upright and relaxed and get someone to push you from behind. You'll catch yourself. The leg that moved will be your lead leg.
    2. Sit on the ground and extend your lead leg straight ahead and your lead leg straight out to your side with your shin pointing back. Sit up straight and stretch your opposite arm toward your lead foot with the other arm tucked behind your back. This is the 90-90-90 position and this is what you want to look like going over.
    3. Get into your blocks with your lead leg back and practice some starts. Counting each time a foot hits the track you want eight strides before you go over. Adjust until your eighth stride lands about 4-5 ft before the hurdle mark then kick your lead leg up and pull your trail leg through then continue striding
    4. Place one hurdle lowered all the way at the mark. Get into your blocks again and relax. Do not look at the hurdle but past it to the finish line. Run your strides exactly as before and go over. It's okay if you hit it just accept it and practice until you're flexible enough to go over without going upwards. Run past the first hurdle continuing to stride and count 3 steps not counting your landing. Adjust until the third stride lands about 4-5 ft before the second hurdle mark.
    5. Place a second hurdle at the mark at the lowest height and run exactly as before. Do not look at the hurdle. Once you have the second hurdle it is easy to add 3, 4, 5 ... rinse and repeat.
    6. repeat 4-5 raising the hurdle height one click each time until it's comfortable. Congratulations you can run the 110 HH with the intended form.

    You are awesome Nick. But that was terrible. Still probably better than most though. Glad to know there is a race I could beat you in. The good news is, those hurdles come down to 39” when you hit 40!

      Yeah, he could. He ran a 100m in the mid-high 11s over the summer.
