I'm back in ATL and let me tell you it is HOT here, heat wave advisory kinda heat. I haven't been in town for five weeks so this was a brutal introduction. It took me three hours to warm up, do a few sled pulls, and starts over three hurdles. In less hellish conditions gimme 90 minutes and I'll knock it all out and be out.
It's funny that people are already inquiring about getting their "Perdita Tees", since the blue and orange ones my peeps rocked last year was a hit. Not sure what the design is this year, but if you are coming out and want to show who you're cheering for, get at me.
But so oppressive was this heat at 10am that I had to find the one tree and park myself underneath it for minutes at a time after each pass. While doing my hurdle starts in the blocks, I'd have to totally abandon ship before I got commands because the track was burning my fingers. As much as I complain about York U, I really miss the dungeon right now.
Nationals Toronto 2010
Toronto is hosting Canadian National Championships again this year. I'm so excited as always because it gives my peeps the chance to see me run. And this will probably be the last time I get to compete at champs so close to home ever in my career. Since the next two years Calgary is hosting and then I believe New Brunswick will play host. And at some point I gotta have some chilrens.
Smaller Cheering Section
Last year was a big deal in that it was my season back after injury and my fam came and held me down. This year may be a bit less crazy since some of my family will be in St. Lucia during nationals. But I'm sure I'll hear my mothers frantic cheering from Gros-islet, the tiny village where she was raised. If you're in T.O July 28-31 do come out and support the event.
