I actually dont get too nervous before a race. Dont get me wrong, I do
get nervous before a race, but, I usually end up somewhat angry (like
I have something to prove) before my race. I also go to the bathroom.
As soon as I start my warm-up, I have to go. I always think of those
people that used to say that I cant run or I should just stick with
football. Like I said, it's like I have something to prove.I want them
to see me hanging in there with their teams (colleges) best sprinter
and steadily improving. I think we all have our pre-race quirks, but I
do believe that is a good thing.
