I was on an Idaho state champion cross country team in '65. Back then, the courses were only 2 miles. Now they're 5K.
Capital HS, Boise. It was a brand new school and we won the school's 1st trophy of any kind.

lol I drank beer and hung out with the rednecks in high school, no sports, the track coach did try to get me to join when I was 15 because I could beat most of his guys running the mile.
My brother was an all-state strong safety class 5a set several records "two-way starter", starting Quarterback for the first quarter then strong safety the whole game, he also set the state pole vault record back in 85. Call him uncle Rico now.

Could’ve made it many times, they just don’t have categories for what I excel at.
I was thinking the other day how much I used to hate Bill Clinton. He was freaking George Washington compared to what they are now.

and world record holder in weightlifting. That deserves a quote. I cannot fathom the amount of work that must go into something like that. Thanks. When you are doing it, it just becomes something that you just always do. It took a long time, and I appreciate it more, now that I've had some challenges. I still have a fair amount of strength, enough to scare a few geared, drug free open world records, but no longer really have the necessary ambition . In my age catagory, I'm still well above geared records. The mental toughness is the key. I don't think I have it anymore.

Went to State track meet in the 400 meter. Got smoked.
I actually thought I was winning for a moment coming through turn 4. Nobody was near me as I came out of the turn, thought I had it in the bag. Looked to the finish line and then realized all 7 nogs had just finished. Lol.
My region was pretty white. I won a bunch.
State meet in Augusta was a completely different matter. Probably felt like Birdwatcher on his Africa trip to Zamunda. 😂

Went to my first school sporting event to watch my daughter
play volleyball.
Never had a bit of interest. That stuff was for city kids.

My son just finished his wrestling season.
Won divisionals last weekend so he went in seeded #1 for the eastern part of the state.
Finished the tournament last night where he won. Either pinned or majored every opponent. Nice way to finish the last tournament of the year and was 1 of 2 state champions on his team.

Nothing here.....pretty good at a lot of stuff great at nothing. 4:40 - 4:45 mile, 51 + 1/4 mile, later in life a 10 miler a few seconds under 60 minutes, a 2:54 Marathon....should have been much better. memtb
