Met Justin at Downingtown East's track at 10:00. The plan was Pick-up reps, which in original form is 8x 400m @ 70 w/90-sec Int and #s 2,5,8 @ 63. I typically give myself twice the allotted recovery. Given the strong headwind, I modified the workout further by doing 300s as opposed to 400s, but at the original pace as the planned 400s. This meant 52 and 47. I took 2:30/100 between repeats. (Justin led the slower ones, and I led the faster ones.)
300 #1: 52
300 #2: 47
300 #3: 52
300 #4: 51
300 #5: 46
300 #6: 52
300 #7: 52
300 #8: 47
This moderate 300s workout went okay, but I felt a little tighter than I would've liked. I am looking forward to tomorrow's workout with the M40 4x100 at Haverford College. I hope to get some sprinting in.
Today I found out that I got into the open 100m @ Penn Relays. Oh man. I just did some research on some of the men in my race. Two are '96, '00, '04, '08 Olympians. I think one won gold in each! They are still fast, running Division I college times. Two still run good high school times. The remaining 4 of us run about the same time. At least I know what I'm up against. I hope not to get last :). Then again, there's humility and character in finishing last.
I also learned that I'm on the May 2013 cover of National Masters News. Funny.
