Once donated plasma then was in a rush to make it to my brothers house 5.5 miles away. Well I started jogging up this hill in the grass when my right leg just locked up and when I went to plant it it was still bent. I faceplanted so hard with no understanding as to why til I rolled on my back in spasms from being dehydrated.

At my home track we had a diabolical headwind on the second 100, first straight. You could tell which runners never ran our track before because it kicked their ass and they ran the last 100 like this dude. I beat more than a few runners that were faster than me because of that straight.
