When in track. I ran the hurdles to be truthful never really that good. I had to rotate lead leg due to short legs. There was this one boy from Danville that would always beat me. I came in 2nd to him every time. One day we lined up and at the sound off we went. Over the first and on the second I heard him crash into the second and out of the corner of my eye say him stumble. I thought this is my chance as I left him behind. As I crossed the final one I was ahead, but he edged me at the line to win. I saw him about 25 years after high school. He said you remember that time I fell down and still beat you. I said I sure do.
Ouch. I know how you feel. So close.
Ouch is right.
