Southampton open meeting

Team Southampton put on an open 400m hurdles on Wednesday. These are pretty rare so I thought I'd take the opportunity of a low key run. With 7 hurdlers turning up they ran the U17s, senior women and senior mens all together. It feels a lot better having a full track in the hurdles, much more like a real race. With a 6.45 start it was already starting to cool down and the wind had picked up. After a slow start I ran well to the 6th, including a decent right leg lead over the 4th.
Then at 8 I slowed up as I hit the wind and finished with a poor last 100.Results.

Jess came down and ran in the U11 600m and came second. She ran very well, tucking in at the right time, then passing when she needed to. Excellent style overall.
