Broke my leg today while doing the hurdles, ending my Athletics and Cricket seasons 
I think I could have had a shot at the Nationals as well, was feeling good after a lot of training and jumping a new PB (Main event is triple). Oh well...
If your main event is triple, why do you do hurdling??? I am mighty confused!
Sprints and triple already doesnt make a lot of sense (thats what I "do" , but hurdles? That is just suicide for your body. Afterall, it is widely agreed upon that triple jumpers max out at 25-26 and their jumping career is almost over at 27-28, cause the knees cant take the abuse anymore...
With hurdles, you just inrease that abuse (unless you ment hurdle drills, which makes 90% of this post useless)...

I'm not a hurdler, on the track I do 1500m. My club was doing a hurdles race and hadn't done it for a year so I decided to join in (bad idea )
Thanks guys  |

You are making less sense every minute
1500 and TJ? How do you train for that??? I mean middle distance speedwork is what us sprinters call easy pace at 70-80%, or to put it in better persepective: our endurance sessions during the winter! But you need a quick acceleration for the TJ... Thats at least how I jump: Flat out sprint and then, much like jonathan edwards, low jumps carrying the speed (natural sprinter with potential for jumps is what my coach said )

The problem is that if I hit the smileys 'button', or the 'make things bold button', or the 'make url's clickable button', or the 'make text centered button', or any button at all, then I get linked to the first post of the thread, while I'm just trying to reply a post.
For example, I typed the smiley behind meanie just by putting : and ( together instead of clicking on the smiley, otherwise I got linked. (I wanted to put the angry smiley there, but I don't know the code for that, and I can't click the smileys button, that's the problem.
Works fine at my end, both in Firefox and Chrome. |

Yeah, used to work fine as well with me, but now it suddenly doesn't.
Have changed the Chrome options over & over trying to fix it, but it won't work, also re-installing doesn't work.
Anyway, switched to Firefox for now, and that works fine.

Yeah, it worked for me all the time. It's something in my browser settings I guess, idk.
But forget about it, switched to Firefox, and works now

I was having a discussion with a friend of my mine who isn't that into cycling. He is coloured and was wondering if there were any coloured cyclists at the top level and the only one I could think of was Teklehaimanot.
Are there actually anybody else?

Yes it does.
IE is awesome. firefow is good. Chrome sucks almost as bad as Safari, which is an abomination.
