Wildest comeback from a 1st leg fall I have ever seen.
Never Quit: UM 4x400 Relay

Wow. They didn’t just win, they won by a landslide.
Crazy. (I used to run quarters in HS. Watching that made me want to vomit all over again.)
I ran 800 and 4x800 relay, and that end of race dry heave is real.
My son for awhile ran the 800 and 4x4 (4x8 and 400 earlier), but with only the 4x1 only between those two his first year, he had to about he carried off the track.
800 is a killer. Too short to pace and too long to sprint.
I ran the 400 and 800 one of the various relays and long jumped. So many tracks had that bear waiting for me on that final turn...
Whenever I think of running, I always switch to a run by one of my oldest sons baseball teammates. The kid seemed off, somehow makes contact with the ball, and starts to run to first. He’s running 2/3rds speed and like windmilling both arms. His parents were sitting behind us a couple rows and even they said out load, why’s he running like that. Turned out the kid was smoking dope on his way to the game, he missed the bus so his buddy drove him.
He got out and when he went into the dugout, sat by my son and announced that, man I was running fast. The kids then asked if he was high and he admitted.

I’m not sure what is more grueling, 400 hurdles or open 800???
Give me the 800 anyday. I'm confident Satan himself invented the hurdles.
Ran both for ISU and the 400H totally suck!

400 Hurdles is absolutely nuts. I did both in high school and college, and they both are insane. But the 400 hurdles is something that made me realize I am not right in the head for actually wanting to do in my track career.
My oldest got out of the 800 open by asking the coach if he could do the 400H. The coach told him he never had anyone volunteer for it so he would never say no if someone did. He was not a hurdler, just had a good gas tank and was determined. Was one clipped hurdle away from making state just a couple weeks after asking to run it.
