please answer if you have done it. also what do you think about the races? are they hard? Im just scared that I will trip over the hurdles or knock one down during a race.|||I have competed in hurdles for two years now, they give me the most amazing feeling. They are SOOOO much fun! Everytime i finis a race i want to go do it again.
are they hard?
Yes, it might look easy put training is hard you need to thing about a couple of thinsg when you are jumping, like running fast, keeping 3 steps, staying low on teh hurdles.
I have never tripped (lucky) so i do not know how much its hurst but i have seen a couple girls fall, and all just stood up and continued teh race... but it does hurt.
Don't be scared, the chances are low you will hit one if its one of your first races, it tends to happen to people who jump very low- if ist one of your first time you will atomaticly jump higher!
Good Luck!|||Food For Thought:
Most things are difficult before they are made easy.
If you learn the basics to hurdling, they can be fun. Without the basics, they can be intimidating. It is best that you try and run ten hurdles at practice two or three days before any race day. This way, you will know what to expect. And from your practices, you will come to know that hurdles will fall over easily without hurting you.
In the 110mH (boys) and 100mH (girls), most good runners do not even remember running the first five hurdles - it can go that fast. If you hit a hurdle during a race, you just keep going. In most cases the fallen hurdle will not create a judgment against you.
Learn the hurdle form in 3 phases and you will be fine.
The Hurdle Form:
1.) The lead leg and opposite arm
2.) The trail leg and the arm on the same side as your trail leg
3.) The hurdle form air-born
