1.5 mile warmup, 2.5 mile, cooldown of 2 miles. we did 11x400ms repeats at race pace. we did this on rthe uneven grasy hills/plains of a local park. these were hard. we ran the 400ms with a 90 second rest in which we had to run back to the starting line. my times ere all between 1:13-1:21 so pretty fast for be on grass. I ran with the top pack and was around 5-7th on the team. it was hard and now i am tired.

We had trouble getting out fo the hotel due to a lazy and late teammate.  GOt to the eagle island state park on a cool and cloudy (rain clouds) morning.  My wrist is still hurting really bad even after I took 2 ibuprofens.  I saw my family and started to get warmed up...mna my wrist hurts.

The gun goes offf and I am immediately hit in my sore wrist and it explodes in pain.  I nearly drop out of the race in the first mile it hurt so bad.  Albert, Matthew and Matthew take off.  I get in front of Funk but am not able to get back with Gyles.  The course is fun but I am in so much pain I get out of my racing mode.  I run a new PR but so does nearly everyone else.  Really disappointed in this race as I was ready to go fast.  We had the EMT's tape up my wrist after the race.  Stick around to watch the other races but I am hurting and mad.   My teammates run hard and well and I am happy for them but mad that my teammate messed around on the bus and caused me to have this injury right before a big race.  Still pissed.

Need to refocus and get ready to run better at the meet in Twin Falls on Wednesday and get a better time.
