This is part of Lela’s preparation for the USA Olympic Trials, which are now only a month away, to be held in Eugene, Oregon. Lela has the “A” standard in the Heptathlon as well as in her pet event, the Long Jump. Lela’s score of 5944 puts her in a great position to score even higher when she lines up for the grueling 2 day event at the Olympic Trials. Check back often as Lela makes her bid for the Beijing Olympics!!

All his competition clothes and even his contact lenses were lost when he arrived so that he ran in his reading glasses and borrowed warm-up sweats to run, His luggage has not arrived and he is ready to go. Competition is getting more intense as some of the world’s best come in for the last 2 competitions and Debbie wants to be fully prepared for them.

Debbie had discussed race strategy with her coach Malcolm Watts and told her agent that the goal was 50 point for her first race. She even revealed that she was so focused that she wrote her expected time on the back of her race bib/number before racing.

Debbie executed the stages of her race beautifully and finished strong for the win, but then the bad news came. Her time was hand timed and not the fully automatic time that was expected. An electrical malfunction affected the timing equipment and no automatic time was available. Results had to be gathered from the 10-12 finish line timers. While we waited for the results of the 400m, Debbie had 40 mins to rest before the 200m race.400m-focus.jpg

Then we received the results of the 400m.

Debbie ran exactly what she had written at the back of her race number! The excitement did not last long as she had the second race to run.  Again, Debbie had an excellent result, winning the race and running a personal best while doing it and defeating the 2003 World Champion and the 2006 Commonwealth Games 100m champion in the process.
