(No video yet, but just wanted to let some of you know)

I won state's Junior Olympics and then headed off to Seattle, WA for Regionals.
I was seeded first with a time of 14.68 and the 2nd guy was seeded at 14.93 then a bunch of low 15s - Easy right?
Not really.
I got placed in Lane 8, one of the worse lanes and it didn't even make sense that I was so far out since I was the fastest
Some kid said "Damn, i'm going 14.1 today RAWWWRRRR" - I was kinda scared. lol
Getting into my blocks, I felt fine.
BANG, gun goes off.
The blocks go RIGHT under me and I fall on my hands, I let out a scream to tell the starter "COME ON, Get a new start in". No luck, I had to run this with about 5 steps down.
Going over the first hurdle - down by 3 steps
Going over the second hurdle - down by 3 steps
Going over the third hurdle - down by 2 steps
Going over the fourth hurdle - down by 1
When the fifth hurdle was coming up, I just picked it up and flew by.
6,7, 8, 9 I was winning by 3 4 steps.
Coming off the last hurdle for the run, I turned to see lane 7 6 5 4 3 2 1 with noone near me.
Did I just fucking win? WTF?

I checked my time.
1st place going into a -2.5 headwind.

Now i'm off to Nationals.
=)
