Jeremy Wariner was the first white man to win gold at 400 m since 1980, and the first white American man to win a medal of any kind in the sprints (400 m and under) since 1964.
I ran three miles at the track at Van Nuys High School.
I tried to sprint the first lap (like Jeremy Wariner in last summer's Olympics) but got tired about a third of the way. I guess I wasn't born with fast-twitch muscles.
I think I'm more suited for 2-3 mile runs (I did a short stint of cross country my senior year in high school).
Afterwards, I went to the gym and lifted weights. And I ran another mile on the treadmill and did five minutes on the stairmaster.
