Mon, 4/28/25-took off. Knees are stiff! Go figure!
Sat, 4/26/25-Jogged a mile (9:10), lifted and stretched a little, then jogged another mile (8:30). Spent the afternoon with John at Franklin Field. Much of the time was a soaker. The day was still fantastic, thanks to the heroics on the track.
Fri, 4/25/25--Jogged a mile (9:10), lifted and stretched a little, then jogged another mile (8:50).
Thursday, 4/24/25-Chuck Frohlich and I left a few minutes after 9:00 to head to Penn Relays. We made decent time and parked in the structure I often use, which is next to the new Amy Gutmann Hall. We connected with the team just outside the "will call" area just before 10:30. Soon afterwards, Chuck Shields and I stood in line for passes and bibs. This took a while.
Once we got in, many of us sat and enjoyed the races. Some started warming up! It wouldn't be until about 12:30 or so that I headed to the infield to warm up. It felt glorious on this mild day (70s and partly sunny)! After some stress about collecting our team, we were all set to make our way, race-ready, to the announcer's paddock.
Despite my injury and being out of shape, I could only think about making it through the race and not letting the team down. Even though I had qualified for Penn outright, I kept thinking, "Earn this."
The race unfolded as expected. I had anticipated we would be mid-pack, and I was right: 6th place out of 11 or 12 teams. For my part, I "contributed" (haha) the most with a 63.78. It was humbling, particularly since I don't recall ever getting to the 200-meter mark of the 400 and saying to myself, "Uh oh, I've got 200 to go!" The 63 is about what I thought I could realistically run on a bum knee and very little fitness.
