“In my first year at high school, my friends and I chose to do some wrestling, just so we had a sport in the fall while we waited for the baseball season to come around. At the end of December I broke my wrist and wasn’t able to try out for the team. As a joke the athletics coach said, ‘you can run with a broken wrist’. I was always the fastest on the baseball team, but ironically I wasn’t the fastest when I ran my first race, I got beat by a few people including a girl sprinter who was faster than me.”
