100m final, 200m prelim...

Greetings from Beijing!

I did not fare as well as I had hoped in the 100m final, but that's okay. It's part of sports. You win some, you lose some. Friday just wasn't my day. But, it was an exciting race. Our classification has a new world record now. It is very exciting for the sport that there are so many strong sprinters now in my classification.

Yesterday I spent the day recovering and relaxing with my family. We went out for a Peking Duck dinner. I hit the sack early and got up this morning to tackle the track once again for the 200m prelim. It went very well, I was happy with the result. I finished second in my heat and ended up 4th overall. Tomorrow morning at 10:30 am Beijing time I will race in the 200m final. I'm looking forward to the race and am in great spirits. Will write again soon.
