Emilie Erasmus 10.01

[mastermulti]

Provincial championships today

Emile had a good day ran 3 100m's.

A heat, shut himself down after 50m and cruised to a second place in 10.48 to qualify for the semi finals.
Ran much the same in the semi's to qualify for the final. He ran a 10.26. Winner ran a 10.06(pb)
Final was weird. He had a great start and was still in front at 45m. Started to stumble but still managed a 3rd place also 10.26. 2nd place ran 10.17 and 1st went to the winner of his semi in 9.99. the winner is still a junior(U/20) and broke the South African record.

I will post the the vids tomorrow.

He starts preparing for the South African Championships on Monday which are at the end of April. There might still be an event or 2 before then.

His coach is extremely happy with most of the 2.5 years of cobwebs out of his system.

He is competing a lot but all the races are used to build back his form of 3 years ago.

A photo of Wednesday

so Emile is right now in form to run 2 1/2 repeats of 100 in one session.
He's getting ready to manage several rounds which is great news with the championships still 6 weeks away. He could be really fresh and primed by then with the hard work being finished.
I trust he was still feeling good by the end of the day - i.e. no injury or undue soreness concerns?

No health issues. He is 100% fit. He is really enjoying himself and absolutely loving every moment.

It was great to see him manage 3 races in 1 day. Shows massive maturity
