Tresspasser. A high stone wall. I continue to obsessively study ‘improving your hurdle technique’ online, the red curve of the track guiding from the right to the left of the image as drills, minidisciplines, are suggested. Over and over. I was young when I heard recounted to me the terror and excitement of being chased of farmland, thinking there was a gun, scaling over to escape with superhuman force. Even then, I wanted to be a part of the chase.
