I raced the 400 hurdles last night at the Gina Relays in Hillsdale, MI. Going into the race I knew it wasn't going to be good. I was recovering from a cold that had knocked me out for the whole week and the energy levels were at an extreme low. I got out well the first 200 meters, smooth over most of the hurdles. High winds were causing me to come up a little close on the hurdles but nothing drastic. The lack of energy hit at the 200 mark and the race went downhill from there. Steps were off, no drive, just glad to finish the race.
