Sunday, Jan 22, 2017-Went for an easy 5M (4.95M) run. 36:45, 7:21/mile. It felt pretty good, especially in light of competing yesterday and still being sick.
January 21, 2017--Collegeville Invitational
I arrived at about 12:30. I learned the meet was running a few minutes ahead of schedule. I warmed up immediately. I had a good series of stretching Eventually, I found out I was in heat 7 (of 10) lane 2. There were five of us in the section, one to my inside and three to my outside. I got out okay when the gun went off, making up the stagger on lane 2 by the 100 meter mark. Coming into the homestretch I felt the guy in lane one try to beat me to the break. I surged and got there first. I hit the 200 mark in 26xx. I was in the lead. I held the lead through the finish, winning by 1.5 seconds. Coming up the stretch I tightened, as I looked at the clock tick up 51, 52, 53, 54, 55.... I thought I had run 56-low. My official time was 56.49. I guess that's where I am right now. Perhaps a faster heat may have produced a fast time.
I jogged a bit and readied myself for the 200. I was assigned lane 6 AGAIN in heat 9 of 11. All lanes were filled. At least I was able to use starting blocks. I got a good start out of the blocks and seemed smooth through the turn. It was a close race. I got third in my heat, running a 25.45.
Body-wise, I felt good.
