Not the best of me...but..He asked for it! Part one!

He is the junior nation judo champion. My friend...He is 6'2 220 I am 5'6" 120. I can put up with a lot but DON'T CALL ME OUT! In front of EVERYONE! It was track season. HE DID! I... could not back down. MY BAD!!!
I RAN! LEAPED IN THE AIR and landed my cleats on his thigh! Twisted! and pushed off! NOW! big guy! catch me if you can!

Amazingly...we were good. He knew he had crossed the line. I walked with him to see his mother. She dressed his wounds without reproachment. Live long friend!!! Sadly he passed away a decade ago from multiple concussions over his lifetime. Whatever that is now called...

Not the fastest on the track team but...not to be dismissed...We were a California-recognized power. 4 by 100 relay team. FOLLOWING THE 1968 Olympics!  The track was ALL THAT! And we had a TEAM! Me and my three black teammates! I was the smallest and the slowest of the four!
We walk onto the track at Castlemont East Oakland! Oh yeah, THEY all see us! My "mates" ask me to "dance " with them? Yeah, it was a thing. I said I am down. We dance and let them know "WE" are there to win!!
I actually don't remember if we won! Likely we did. After all, it was why we had been invited!

In the Army, I was the 2nd fastest in the battalion track team for the 440. There were only two team members running the 440. Lol.
