Wow, that was an incredible stretch run.

I'm not sure I ever ran a 400 when I didn't feel like this woman looked at the end.  It's just an incredibly grueling race.  All over, I hurt more after a marathon, but in terms of being absolutely drained for a few minutes, the 400 takes the cake in my book.

OT:  My senior of high school was the first in which one was allowed to do four running events in a meet.  In the conference championship, I was entered in the 4x100, 100, 200, and 400.  The 4x100 started the meet, I did three heats of 100, three heats of 400, then the 200 was toward the end.  I was basically out of it by then, thinking it was another 400, and started out as such.  Halfway through I realized what was going on and went so hard, I got my spikes stuck in the track and took a tumble.  I was in the outside lane and there were some young (probably 6-10 years old) boys right there who really got a kick out of it.  Of course I was pretty bloodied up, so there were also some old (60's-70's) women who were beside themselves wondering if I was alright.  I was amused by all of this 40 years ago, but now I live in fear of taking a spill, and I don't run nearly as fast.
