track starts

Everyone seems to be doing "track starts" off the block now - one leg behind the other. How and why do you do this? I haven't been in a meet for a long time...back then everyone did the "grab start". Any instructions on doing a track start would be appreciated.

  • I don't know what my strong leg is, but I do my track starts the same way I ride a snowboard, goofy, with the right foot forward. If I asked you to hop around on one leg, which leg would you choose? That's your strong leg. I've always done track starts and my strong leg goes forward.
