First Day at the Olympic Trials

The trip to Eugene was fairly unexciting.  I enjoyed the surprise cookies about halfway through the trip from Laura.  I arrived at the airport with Shawn Crawford & some other hopeful Olympians.  Steve picked me up outside and we hurried back to Haywood field for the 800 meter semi-finials.  We watch UT star Jacob Hernandez [...]

Training together and racing together
