The hurdle thing caught my eye. Professional decathlete?? Wow! That's pretty cool. In high school track, I did shot and disc, and was looking for a running event to compete in. My coach got me interested in the 400 hurdles, and I loved 'em. I wasn't really good at it, ( 6', 220 lbs.) but I had a lot of fun doing it. I think my best time ever was 66.2, not too bad for a big "loaf" as coach used to call us 'field' guys.
