For today’s blog post, back by popular demand, we have another round of “You Know You’re a Hurdler If …” Got ten more here in Part 2:
You know you’re a hurdler if…
10. You’ve been guilty of driving while hurdling – taking your hands off the steering wheel and doing the hurdle motion with your arms while driving over a pothole or speed bump.
9. You have bumped elbows and forearms with a hurdler in an adjacent lane.
8. You have lumps or a numb spot on your trail leg knee from hitting hurdles in the exact same spot over and over again.
7. You have broken a crossbar in half with the force of your lead leg foot slamming the hurdle.
6. You have asked your coach before practice, “Hey Coach, we’re hurdlin’ today, right?”
5. You have noticed a superior athlete in another event or sport and thought to yourself, I could beat him/her in the hurdles.
4. You have scolded non-hurdlers who have laughed when another hurdler fell.
3. You’ve drawn blood as a result of hitting a hurdle.
2. You’ve hopped the locked gate at a high school or college track in order to hurdle.
1. You’ve passed gas while clearing a hurdle.
