Zoning out at Millrose

Sun, 2/12/17-

5M recovery run in 36:38.

Sat, 2/11/17-Millrose Games


Met up with Chuck Kruelle, Rob, Andrew, and Ray at Home Depot in Willow Grove for a 9:45 departure. 

The drive to NYC was quick and uneventful.  We arrived at The Armory at 11:30. We sat upstairs for a bit, then jogged outside (around the block three times) beginning at 12:30.  I stretched on the lower level for a bit.  I made my way to the main level to get my spikes and whatnot.  We needed to report back to the lower level by 1:25 for the 2:02 race.  When we got there, we checked in and were told to report to the clerking area at 1:47.  Thus, we had time to head to the mid-level for stretching and strides.  I did a few strides in flats and a few pick-ups in spikes.  I then headed upstairs.  

The lineup was Nick Damalasme, Chuck K, and Andrew, subbing in for Rob. 

The race...

Nick got out pretty well and found himself in fourth place behind Elliot at the handoff.  I took the baton 25 meters behind Elliot and proceeded conservatively, not wanting to go out like gangbusters.  I felt pretty smooth across the first 200.  I could feel myself cutting into his lead at the 200-meter mark.  On the backstretch, I surged and went by him before the turn.  He pushed my back and clipped the back of my heels as we bent into it.  I kept my form coming down the homestretch and handed off to Chuck a half-step in front him.  Chuck forgot to pull me out, so the handoff appeared closer than it should have been and my split suffered some (the split doesn't end until the out-going runner crosses the finish line).  In fact, I gave Chuck the baton and pushed his shoulder to get him going.  55.00 it is.   Chuck ran very well, dropping a 57.xx and handing off in front of Elliot.  Andrew took the baton and made a go of it, staying ahead of Elliot until the last 100 meters or so.  With the goal of running 3:50, Andrew brought the baton home in 3:50.27.
