From 1977, the start of an open 440 dash. Me in lane one (the second worst lane) at the very start.

Coming out of turn two, i’ve fallen farther behind.

Rounding the final turn for the homestretch, still far behind the leaders.

Gonna be a close finish. The winner is up for grabs. Who wants it more?

Difficult to see…but in watching the old video yesterday, i pulled off the win.

Stumbled on stuff from 1977.

It reminds me how unconventionally i ran as a teen.

It’s almost unheard of to run negative splits – where your second half is faster than the first half.

Disney brought out my unconventional in ways i never saw coming.

Thank you Walt and Roy.
