2024 USATF-NY/NJ Open & Masters Championships, 60m Hurdles, Heat 2

Second heat of the men's 60m Hurdles Masters at the USATF NY-NJ Open & Masters Indoor Championships at Ocean Breeze in Staten Island, NY, 2/24/2024.
I finished last in my heat, but 2nd in my age group (M50-54, behind Shore AC teammate Richard Reichenbach). Most importantly, it was a big improvement over last year, despite having almost no practice (other than vicariously by watching my son practice and listening to what his coach tells him). I was never very good at the high hurdles, even in my prime, but I take some pride in having the courage to do it.
It helps that they lower them from 39" to 36" at age 50, but stride length is still an issue for me. 400m hurdles were always more my thing.
