The NEED for SPEED

Sprinting has been a passion of mine since I was 17 years old.  Funny thing is,  I had no idea I was fast until my twin brother Keats Snideman talked me into going out for my high school district championships at the end of my junior year. To make a long story short, I won the 200 meter dash (first track race of my life) and qualified for the STATE meet the following weekend. I was so smoked the following weekend that I got dusted in the State Championship but vowed to come back for my senior year and kick some ass. Fortunately that is exactly what I did. Broke the school record in the 100 meters and 200 meters and got a SILVER medal in the 100 meters and 200 meters at STATE  my senior year. Now 20 years later, the love affair with sprinting and speed is stronger than ever!!

Sprinting = Flying (notice how I am in the air)

Sprinting may be the most powerful expression of human power and explosiveness that human beings can do.  Every four years at the Olympics the world is glued to the TV to watch the world's fastest humans compete for the title of "World's Fastest Man." As a species, we are enomored with speed. We build faster and faster cars, faster boats, faster trains, faster airplanes, faster computers and faster societies. Their is something about SPEED that is THRILLING to watch and even more thrilling to experience.  I don't know about you, but watching a Cheetah or fast animal sprint at full speed is a thing of beauty.

If there one thing I have had the privilage of experiencing as a sprinter it is the feeling of weightlessness and floating. When you are blazing down a track, a trail or the beach at full speed, there comes at moment where you feel like you are flying. This if feeling is unlike any feeling I have ever had in sports. It is one I hope I can sustain and continue my entire life. Even as I age, I never want to lose the ability to sprint.
