AM: track practice in Safety Harbor. Workout: 1200, 800, 400, 400, 800, 1200. Tried pacing a bunch of different people through a ladder workout. Not the best for my legs, but I think everyone appreciated it. PM:
PM: 7 miles at safety harbor track. This time another track workout, but the intention was to see my fitness level as well as Cory and Tyler's and then run a fun workout version of the game "Horse." We did a warmup, then a mile for time, then I used that timed mile to handicap the game. You got a letter for coming in last on the 400s, and didn't receive any if you came in first or second.
Tyler- 5:54 mile, Cory- 5:04 mile, me- 4:42 mile.
This translated to a 18 second handicap for Tyler and a 5 second handicap for Cory and then I started my 400 after them to catch them. Cory and I were trading letters until he fell off and he was sent packing when I had only two letters. Then Tyler continued his sweep and never even earned one letter before shutting me out in second place. I really thought if I could sprint up to him in the first 200 he would just let me take it, and then I'd have recovery time on my side (30 second recoveries). Never got him though. Next time, I'm capping the leads or changing it to an 800. 18 seconds for a lead on a 400 is just too much.
A LOT of fun. Can't wait to integrate this with the morning runners or the St. Pete group.
