My Jen Could Paint That

In reply to Just Screw It
To those wondering who that is (since it's obviously not Tiffany Ross-Williams), I think she might be Angela Morosanu from Romania. She's the only one who didn't finish the race, and it looks an awful lot like her, and the "U" on her race bib supports that.

@My Jen Could Paint That: Yep. That's Angela Moroşanu of Romania, all right.

She's their track wonder-girl since she runs all sorts of sprints, not just hurdles.

@BadHairLife: the Romanians tend to have some really good women track and field athletes, like Gabi Szabo back in the day.

That butt is like 25% of why I run. I hope one day to match its awesomeness with my own derriere.

Wow, this brings back memories. I used to do 100, 200, and 400 hurdles, and I once caught my foot in one of the last hurdles, taking it down with me. Track burn all down one leg. I'm pretty sure my face looked like hers-- a killer combo of "what just happened?" and "OMGOWWWW!"

I'm pretty sure I've got little piece of rubber lodged in my legs somewhere from hard falls on the track.

Sadly, I am and always have been a distance runner which just speaks volumes for my coordination.

I did the 300's in high school, and they were MISERABLE. By the last couple of hurdles you just pray that your legs will make it up and over, and that you won't... face plant. Ours were also much lower than they are at the level shown here. Ouch.

Any other former jeze-hurdlers?

I've started running again in the past few months, and am not naturally very athletic so I tend to imagine myself falling a lot. I haven't, yet. But the above photo just reminded me that last night I dreamed I was running and completely ate shit, just like that. I got up and kept running - this is good, yes?

@Uncommon Whore: Love your dream.

I doubt it will actually happen, though. I too am clumsy like a drunken sailor, yet in my two years of running I have never fallen. Thrown up, yes. But fallen - never.

I had a hurdles fear in high school! This just confirms I was right to be afraid.

@bluebears: I'm with you. I ran track in high school and REFUSED to try hurdles for fear of snapping my leg after I tripped over one. I saw someone break their leg hurdling once, but they tripped over a hurdle that was put on the track backwards. Thus it didn't fall over and I could never put that image out of my mind.

@bluebears: I had a coach who wanted me to hurdle - I have ridiculously long legs - but I was always afraid of tripping and faceplanting. So I stuck to long jump.

@shorty63136: For me, it is a feeling of everything being OK and a lot of giggling. It occurs after I run for 30-some minutes straight and generally intensifies when I actually stop running.

@Elaken: There gets to be a point where pain just sort of stops happening. I still get tired, but it's a different feeling. Getting to that point is a real bitch.
