It's been a minute...

Wed, 3/29-mile, lift, mile

Tues, 3/28-6x200...at 6:30am. 32.xx, 31.xx, 31.xx, 31.xx, 31.xx, 30.xx

I was more winded than I should've been on 3 min rest.

Mon, 3/27-mile, lift, mile

Sun, 3/26-Spent the night at Zion. Front Runners meet at The Armory. Even thought I registered for the 60, 200, and 400, I knew I would be doing the first two only. After a nearly 90-minute drive that should have taken 70 minutes, I arrived ready to get to work. Unfortunately, I could only warm up in the hall on the second level, or so i was told. At any rate, I felt stiffer than expected. I'd eventually head upstairs to join the rest of my teammates who came (Leroy, Ross, and Jacques). I did some strides and starts in preparation for my heat 6, lane 4 race. After a false start, I was ready to give the 60 a whirl. When the gun went off, I didn't feel smooth. I sort of felt like I was racing to beat a time, almost out of desperation. My mark, 8.21, was an improvement of .09 over my effort at Ocean Breeze (8.30) in February. https://www.armorytrack.org/gprofile.php?mgroup_id=45586&do=videos&video_id=355787

Nearly two hours later it was time for the 200m. By that time, I had eaten a snack and almost taken a nap. I'd be assigned lane 6 in heat 7 (of 21). We weren't able o use starting blocks. Heat 6 and no starting block+ bummer! At any rate, I started okay, but I felt like I couldn't maintain my speed. The 40-something from Garmin Runners caught me at about the 100m mark; the even younger guy eclipsed me at the 150 mark. I think I was able to beat the other guy. with my 26.07. https://www.armorytrack.org/gprofile.php?mgroup_id=45586&do=videos&video_id=355821
