Man Named 'Tiffany' Is Dominating Women's Pro Volleyball in Brazil

I've done almost everything . I've always been into sprints and horizontal jumps, but in high school I moved up to the 400m and then tried and loved hurdles, so 400 metre Hurdles is my main event now. Also I focused on the heptathlon for a few years, but it's a bit much to try to train for 7 events at the university level. I've done a lot of cross country too (despite hating it with a passion, I don't know why, but I couldn't bring myself to quit until uni), and last year I was into half-marathon kind of distances. But overall hurdle events are my favorite.

I really wanted to do sprints in track. I was really fast and think I would have done really well in it. But my coach said it would mess up my long distance because you use the muscles differently, and since cross was my main thing, I settled with mid distance. Ahhh... I miss high school so much... I think I'm one of the few people who loved high school lol. And sports was the main reason why.

Sprinting definitely messes up your distance run. I've trained sprints quite intensively since I was 13, and as a result I have very strong leg muscles that are just more to carry when I run distance, which always made me less competitive in high school cross country compared to the girls who were, like, 90 pounds. Track was my main thing, I just did cross largely because the girl's team my age was totally kickass, but they needed a 5th runner, so I got recruited and stuck with it.

Won't argue that sprints aren't fun . Hurdles are even more fun... it's like an art form trying to pull off a perfect race with the stride pattern, and it takes a huge amount of focus in addition to speed. But I kind of like middle distance, too, because it takes more skill during the race to really push yourself.

And I loved high school too. Though university is pretty fun as well, because there's way more freedom. The only stage of life that sounds like a bit of a bore is the 'adult' one.
