Update

Ok i havent updated this thing in a while so here is what ive been up to.

Ive been in Puerto Rico since June 14th. been staying in a place called Albergue. The second week here i had a meet in Jamaica. Jamaican nationals. I finished 3rd with a time of 14.20. I was pretty disappointed of course but its all good. i ran in lane 7 had a guy who ran 15+ in lane 6 and i thought i was in the lead until midway thru the race when i realized i was screwed..

So my second meet was in Carolina, Puerto Rico. i finished 2nd in 13.82. I was leading the race until hurdle 8 when my form broke down.

My 3rd race was in vega Baja, Puerto Rico. it was extremely bootleg but i guess it was a good practice. when we arrived to the track there was absolutely no one there. they set up 2 lanes of hurdles for me and the other hurdler from Puerto Rico Enrique llanos. then at the last minute they set up a 3rd lane of hurdles for another hurdler. the 3rd guy was in 2 Enrique was in 4 and I was in 6. i ran a 13.74 wind aided time for second.

i am now in El Salvador now for the NACAC open meet. i run saturday morning and then afternoon for the finals. After this we go to Brazil for the Pan American games. And hopefully by then i will have ran the qualifying mark for World Champs of 13.55. That is the ultimate goal for this year so we'll see what happens.

But ive had a pretty good time in Puerto Rico so far. still some headaches as usual but its all good. Im glad to be competing on a consistent basis, and i feel as im still on target for my goals this year.


Ill try to update this blog after my race this saturday with the results and hopefully some footage.
