Fri, Jan 2-Meet at Alvernia. I left home at about 11:00, knowing the drive would be close to 2 hours and 400m was scheduled to go off at 2:00. When I arrived, checked in, and found my teammates, I quickly learned that the 400 was going to start much sooner than expected. I jogged on the backstretch as the 60m was being contested, covering probably a half mile in 4:30-5:00. I stretched decently, not knowing how far ahead of schedule the meet was running. As the 4x200 was happening, I did some pickups and strides using the long/triple jump runway.
I then made my way over to where the 400m contestants were gathering. I'd have lane 5 of 6, in a full heat. Turns out the meet was running about 15-20 minutes ahead of schedule.
When the gun went off, I tried to pace off the middle school kiddo in lane 6. He got the jump on me, but I was on his tail at the 200m mark, covering the first half of the race in 29.43. I felt a little slow and heavier than usual, but I was otherwise okay. As I neared the finish line, I thought for a blink of an eye that I would break 60. Nope 61.57. https://www.youtube.com/live/prXgHhTVrp4 Cue at 3:13.
Less than an hour later, I'd have lane 6 for the 200, where Chuck and I would have the heat to ourselves. I posted a modest 28.09. https://www.youtube.com/live/prXgHhTVrp4 Cue to 4:08.
