Later Sunday--Not quite smooth is right. I competed in a lackluster fashion today. I was far too leisurely during my run. Altough I won by a few seconds and was not really pushed, I still should have run faster. Okay--2:02/3 is asking for a lot, but I should have run somewhere in the 2:05-range. Admittedly, we weren't able to wear spikes and Swarthmore's track is just not very good. I could have run faster if there was a sub-2:05 runner in the race. The splits for my pedestrian 2:11 were 30, 63(33), 1:36(33+), 2:11(34+).
Sunday, 1/3/10--Currently 16 degrees! Today I will be heading down to my alma mater to compete in the 800. I am hoping for a smooth, even race. It would be nice to run :60/:62 for a 2:02/2:03. Given the track and the overall atmosphere, which pales in comparison to The Armory's, I would not be surprised if I run a couple of seconds slower than I did last week.
Saturday, 1/2/10--
In preparation for race day (Sunday), I just warmed up 1.5 miles on the Rustin loop. I stretched for a while, then did 5 x ~150 behind the stadium like I did last Saturday. The 150s, as one can tell (28,27,26,25,24), did not feel quite as smooth; it was 23 degrees and very windy! I cooled down ~1.2 miles. 3.2 miles total.
