Fartlek, three sets of 4:00 hard/4:00easy. Fartleks are my worst workout. I have a harder time with them than anything else. This being said, I actually felt pretty good today. Average on the fast was about 5:50, which isn't bad for this point in the season. 3 days to Simplot, and the coaches are doing it different this year. They tried to put everyone in as many events as possible. So I'm running on the B-4x400. Yay. Last time I ran a 4x4, (freshman year) I screwed up both of my handoffs, way bad, and now I get to do it against people who are actually fast. I am not a sprinter.

There was a basketball game at the indoor, so coach said we could do a run outside, or just go home. We decided to do a few laps on the track, in an attempt to get the snow melting. The snow was about to my ankle in most places, running in it was quite difficult. After this we decided to work on handoffs for the 4x4, since none of us on the B-team are actually sprinters. I'm hopeful. I think it's possible that I might make it through the relay without dropping the baton.

This was a good race. I had a good place on the line, so my start was really good. The race just seemed shorter than usual. I didn't pay as much attention to the laps as I should have, and let myself fall too far behind at the end. I ran most of the race in second, but got passed towards the end, and didn't realize how little time I had to make the distance up. I'm really happy with the final time though, about four seconds off a PR in the indoor season is not bad at all.

I ran slow. I'm really not used to this distance, I don't know how to run it, I was too conservative. I held a lot back at first. Oh yeah, and I got us DQ'd. I forgot I was in a relay, and did not get off the track swiftly after I finished, and got right in the way of a guy whomst was moving very quickly. He slammed into me, his knee flying into my thigh, and we both went down. My let will probably be sore for about a week.
