If You're Not Ready To Fall, You're Not Ready To Hurdle!

Several years ago, USATF Masters Hurdle Champion Dexter McCloud said:

"The hurdles require a high skill level.
You have to run a bit out of control because you are running at 10 fences
and you are throwing your private parts at them, while running full speed."


There's a rather old saying in hurdling: "If you're not ready to fall, you're not ready to hurdle!" Falling is a part of hurdle training. You just don't want to make it a part of hurdle competition -- and yes, those are Olympic athletes in that picture! Three of them didn't even make it to the second hurdle.

From Him, Through Him, For Him (Romans 11:36),

Paul J. Staso
