It's the Old Style

Quick visual addendum to my last post. Let's compare the finishes of two 5k cross country races, shall we?

Craig Cup, October 2011:

Eastern Massachusetts Class A High School Championships, November 1992:

I'd say I have a consistent history of heel striking. So, it's not going to be an easy transition, but I do feel like I'm getting it. Calves are a bit sore, but getting better almost daily.

And, in case you're wondering...yup, I got that guy from Cambridge R&L. And, yup, the younger me would already be cooling down by the time the older me finished. A beer to closest guess on the time from 1992.

....and by heel striking, you actually mean the strike of your hind heel to your gluteus maximus? holy flexible teenage creature...

Either the contest is null, or I owe Jeff an entire case. I originally thought this was the Class meet (State qualifiers) in 1992. However, this may be the Class meet in 1991. Not really certain. If it's 1992, it was 16:23. If it's 1991, it was 16:41. More research is needed...perhaps over many beers.
