Millrose Gold

2/9/20-

Went to the Y for a light recovery workout on a bum hamstring.

2/8/20-

I woke up not at all confident about my hamstring. I was one ouch from calling Chuck to let him know he should get a sub. I pushed through and headed out.

I arrived at the parking lot at 9:55, in time for a 10:00 meet-up. Our events, Masters Men's 60+ and Men's 40-49 and 50+ 4x400 meter relays, were scheduled for 12:28 and 12:38. 
Soon after arriving, I announced that we would be switching the order. I would anchor rather than John G.

Knowing the track was scheduled to close for warmups at 11:15, I jogged at 10:40 and again at 11:05. I stretched a bit and sat in the stands for a while, deciding we'd head down to the balmy corridor on the second floor at 11:25. I got some good stretching and striding in, despite the crowded area. We reported to the check-in on the bottom floor as scheduled, 25 minutes before race time. As soon as I arrived, we were called to get 100% race ready (uniform on, spikes in hand, nothing else) to head up to the third floor. It was about 12:20 at that point. 

visualized how I was going to attack the race. In the gathering area, I started to feel a even more uneasy about my hamstring. I was like argh!  I still knew not having Southwest-40s would make things easier, but they did have a 50s team. 

The 60s team claimed victory!!

Then we lined up. We were up!

Telegraphic style, here are the headlines:

One heat. Alley start, 50s on back line, 40s on front line. Two turn stagger. John D'Anjou led off! Lane 8 of 11. To his left was Mark Williams of Garmin. He had a controlled first lap and a strong second lap. John G. finished up powerfully and went by Garmin to give John a lead at the handoff. John Becker ran an even, seemingly effortless leg, handing me the baton with a two-meter lead over Garmin. As soon as I took the baton, my leg felt weak. I knew this would be a modest race, that I would at all at my best. By the time I hit the 200 meter mark, my leg started to pull. I knew then and there that I just needed to relax and only dig in if the runner try to pass me. I looked at the shadow on the track to see if he was near. I was okay. We won gold! Nursing a pulled hamstring, I finished the race in 3:46.09, with a pedestrian 58.46. Although I truly believed we could have run in the low-3:40s, first place among the 40s teams was pretty good. Our 50s squad finished with silver.

Note: I hope TNT's Kyle Lanier, who went down dramatically with what I think was an Achilles rupture, is okay.

Thurs, 2/6/20-

Went to the track on campus to get in a few 150s. I wound up doing a few 60m pickups in the field house. Did not feel great. Hamstring. Went outside to do a few 150s...and did not make it through the first one on account of my hamstring. Turned to 100s instead. Same.
