3 in the morning to The Spectrum. In the afternoon we warmed up 2.5 miles and then did a 1600m time-trial. I kind of talked with Ben and Josh before and we were thinking about running the first few laps at 1:12 and then we would just go all out on the last lap, I just wanted to go sub 4:50 today. We started out good, 1:10 for lap 1. 1:12 for lap 2, I was surprised with how relaxed I felt. 1:12 for lap 3 and then I started to kick. 1:04 on the final lap for 4:38, a lot better than I expected to go! We had 9 guys go under 5 minutes today, pretty sweet! This got me way excited for track because we ran very well for running in trainers and not having really done any speedwork yet. Plus, a lot of us felt like we could've gone even faster today, myself included. This is very exciting and it'll be interesting to see what we are able to do when this track season rolls around in a few months! 4x200m controlled finishes w/equal recovery after the 1600, then a 1 mile cool down.
