AM - 10 Clyde's.  Just in case I didn't get enough of this run in the other night!  Legs are still pretty sore/tight, but it is slowly working its way out.  I don't know how zesty I'll be for my first track race in 15 years this afternoon - yikes!  (Free 634.45)

Panther Relays 1600m - 4:48

Logan had the idea of putting together and open 1600 at a couple of the meets, so I figured we would try it.  We didn't get much out of the community, but it gave Logan and I a chance to run.  Clyde came and warmed up a bit but headed home sick.  So I ran 3 before the meet and during the meet when I could.  Then hit the race and cooled with a mile.  I wasn't so sure about this event.  I hadn't raced on a track in 15+ years and I was still feeling the effects of the 33 miler and add to that I really wasn't warmed up, so I thought a sub 5 would be superb.  Logan and I started off chasing a few high school kids that thought they would want to try this thing and we reeled them in pretty easy.  I hit splits of 1:14 and 1:14 and was feeling a bit tight and blah, but where I needed to be.  Logan gapped me by a few steps at the end of the 2nd and throughout the 3rd, so I tried to tell myself to relax and just stay in it.  Hit the 3rd in 1:13 and then moved up on Logan on the back stretch of the 4th.  Here I started to loosen up a bit and smell the line, so I lifted my knees and pushed a little.  I hit a 1:07 and finished with the 4:48.  Pretty happy; I think I could go sub 4:40 feeling fresh and with some confidence - maybe even hit the state qualifier if I worked a little!  (Rocket 334.25)  Raced in my XC spikes; it was different to have spikes on.
