Overstreet loop plus south side of ravine trail there and back, from the track. About 66 degrees on the trails this morning - getting nicer and nicer, shame its also getting darker and darker. Took the first 1.5 real easy with the plan to go sub 7 for the first mile of the Overstreet loop. That mile is slightly rolling with a downhill start - I hit it at 6:56. Was actually shooting for 6:50, and felt real good, so I worked the next mile as well. It is a very flat section with limited turns and good footing - did that one in 6:46 - better. Wasn't nearly as dead as I expected I would be for the mile and a half back to the track - good run. The XC team was just finishing up their cool down/stretching after the morning workout when I got back to the track - 5X1200 at goal 5K pace - didn't get a chance to chat with Travis yet, but he was fired up about it before I went out for my run. I saw the first 1200 - #1 runner went through at 3:45 and Travis led a couple others through at 4:05 - pretty solid since his goal 5K is 16:30 this year. Can't wait to hear how the other 4 reps went. |
