Splits (thanks to Dennis Simonaitis): 71.2, 78.7, 74.9, 74.5, 76.5, 76.3, 75.0, 75.1, 78.1, 74.8, 78.0, 72.4, 33.5. (68 last 400). 15:39.92 is the official time on the meet web site. This a PR for me, though just barely. But the other 5k PR was a 15:41 on the roads. This was my first 5000 on the track. Basically felt I ran a smart race. I had to do a lot of the work in the second and third miles. Dennis said the first two splits might be off a bit.

First 5 in flats, second 5 in spikes... still trying to get use to them.  Cannot relax on second 200.  I guess that makes sense, since I have yet to complete a 200 workout.

20 x 200 with 200 rest

32.5, 32.8, 31.7, 32.3, 32.6, 33.5, 32.3, 31.8, 31.9, 31.8

31.7, 31.3, 31.1, 31.7, 30.9, 30.9, 31.2, 31.7, 31.3, 31.4

First 10 in flats, second 10 in spikes.  Still experimenting with different mental tricks to improve my form.  So, on various intervals I'll concentrate on different things.  For example, turnover, staying on my toes, driving my knees, leaning forward, relaxing.  So far, "driving my knees" seems to yield the best results and "leaning forward" the worst.

I have done a lot of weight lifting and drills, etc. this week (in addition to the miles) that have made my legs tired.  So, that probably accounts for why I could not do the last few under 31.  I was definitely tying up on the last couple.
