Louisiana Senior Olympic Games - State Track Meet, October 3, 2009


Getting everything packed


Doc says, "Hey, let me in on the picture!
I've been walking him to get him in shape!"


Arriving at Bernie Moore Stadium at LSU


I've been looking forward to this!


What a feeling to be out on the track at LSU!


Thinking about the race


Lace 'em up! It's time to run!


The 400 is about to begin. Only about 15 steps into the race, my right calf goes into an excruciating spasm. I glance at the infield, thinking I may not be able to continue. My left calf is also in a cramp, though not quite as bad as the right one. I am seriously wondering whether I am about to do very severe injury to my right calf. I continue to run with pain in every single step for the remaining 380 meters.

The 400 has just ended. That right calf is in a huge knot!
I'm trying to stretch it out.

Jackie Callendar (one of the track officials) comes over to
see about me.

Jackie tries to get the knot out of my calf.


What a great surprise!


Calves still in pain. Heart full of satisfaction!



Gyp Olsen who was in the stands with Bec for all of my races
(50, 100, and 400) offers his happy words of congratulations!
