Chad,
My purpose is not to force a 8 or 7 step pattern, but to look at the direct and indirect impact. [b]So far I hear that it’s doom and gloom having a successful hurdle 1 TD[/b] time and the success of the above three examples shows it didn’t hurt hurdle 2 or 3 as they were lifetime or near lifetime performances.
To be positive and constructive, let’s see video to learn if this is not accurate.
Show us where anyone said it was bad.
Some of us simply said time to H2 or H3 would be better indicators as it would show not only acceleration but successful take off, clearance, landing, and intrahurdle mechanics between 1 and 2, which is obviously of chief concern when switching from an 8 to 7.
