What a fiasco!

Friday, 5/16/14-took off

Thursday, 5/15/14--did 6x150 at 6 AM...2:40 rest between each (100m walk, 100m jog, and the 50m walk)

Felt stiff and a little sluggish.
I knew I wasn't going to be able to hammer these, so I accepted that I'd be a second off on average.
Instead of 2x21, 2x20, and 2x19, I figured I'd be 2x22, 2x21, and 2x20.

My runs: 22.3, 23.1; 21.5, 21.4; 20.5, 19.8

Wednesday, 5/14/14-went to the gym to lift.

Tuesday, 5/13/14--recovery run of 4.3M (2 Rustin loops) in 33:15.  17:15, 16:00.

Monday, 5/12/14--Arrived at Swarthmore at 5:40...just in time enough to register for the 100.  Whew!  I had what I thought was a nice warm-up.  I felt pretty good on this 80+ degree day with little wind.  I came into the meet KNOWING that I should be able to break 12sec in the 100m and 24sec in the 200m.  

Overall, this was a crazy meet, beginning with a terrible 100. I was in heat 4, lane 5.  I jumped the gun.  Thought they were going to call a false start.  They didn't and the gun went off unexpectedly.  Left blocks late and had to play catchup.  Thus, the poor time of...12.41.  I was miffed.  

The terrible-awful 100
The Awful 200
Then there was the 200.  I was heat 4, lane 6, the same heat as Rob.  Just as heat three was coming onto the track, I walked over to my bag on other side of track to stow my watch.  One of the officials called my name for lane 6 and insisted that I was to run in heat 3.  I told him that it was the correct lane but the wrong heat. He insisted that I run.  I finished the race, knowing it was the wrong heat.  For good measure, the names of the competitors appeared on the results screen and none were mine. I jogged back to the start if the 200, and I heard them call me again, this time for the right heat--heat 4, lane 6.  I told them that, yes, heat 4 was the correct heat but that they had just made me run in heat 3. They were like...oops.  As of Monday night, I was listed as a DNS.  They must've retroactively given me a time and correctly "placed" me in lane 6, heat 4 even though I incorrectly ran in heat 3.  The official time listed on the books is 24.37.  (With the mix-up, the real time may have been 24.73.)   

What a fiasco!  I was hoping to get the 100 and 200 out of my system so that I can make my way back up to 400 and 800.  Argh.
