How cool, I coach an Olympic Gold Medalist!

Allyson Felix, AKA Chicken Legs and her team claimed the 4x400 relay.

I knew my coaching in bowling would pay dividends in her track & field!

Congrats to Allyson for, 1) her impressive performance, and 2) surviving you!

I believe I saw a nice story on her a few days ago. Isn't she the one who would commute across L.A. to see her track coach, Bob(?) Kersey?

So how's her bowling?

Nick, it had to be the "extra kick" she got from drinking that Budweiser American Ale that was advertised at the beginning.

She bowled a fun league with her friends who also compete in T&F. All cool people, very personable and fun to be around. I don't think she averages higher than 130-140, but I did get her off the 3 step approach.

Get her a Swarm and she'll instantly average 220.

When she comes in for her next lesson, I expect to see pics of that medal.  That's cool!
