Met up with Rob today for a 600-meter time trial. I warmed up nice and good, trying to work out the stiffness. Once I was nice and warm, I did 2x50 and a 150 in 21-high to get my pace. (I need to remember this when it's competition time!)
The plan was for Rob to run the first 150 as well as the last 200 with me. Rob would try to take me out in 21, so that I could hit 29 at the 200, 59 at the 400 and finish up in 1:29/1:30. After settling into my mindset, I was ready to roll.
Rob blasted out, using the outside of lane 1. I was to his immediate inside and a meter or so back. He pulled off the track at the 150 mark, as planned. I'd do the next 250 solo. I looked at my watch as I hit the 200-meter mark--28. OMG! I was rolling! I felt pretty good. I reached the 400 in 58. Rob joined me and pulled away as I labored a bit. I tried to work my arms and get up on my toes. I hit the 600 in 1:30 and change, on account of a much slower last lap. 28/58(30)/1:30(32).
I believe I could have run 1:28 in last Thursday's 600 at The Armory. I hope this self shows up next weekend at Ursinus when I race the 800! I am hoping for 29/59(30)/1:31(32)/2:04(33).
After the 600, I took a break (about 12:00 or so) and headed into 3x150 pick-ups and 3x200, 800-meter pace.
150s: 22-low, 21-mid-21-low
200s: 30-mid, 29-high, 29-low
3:00 rest between each
