Well.... today sucked! My legs were totally thrashed from the 5k and I didn't really know exactly how dead they were until I tried to run fast in the 3k. The first half of the race went perfectly - I felt good, Kim and I were at the head of the lead pack and kept the pace down pretty well. Then people started making their moves with about 6 laps to go and I tried to do the same and found that my legs wouldn't go any faster. The pack just passed me up and I tried to hold on but didn't do so great at that. Ended up scoring one measly point and running a really slow time and being really really really frustrated and disappointed. And my legs hurt a whole lot. (DS 140) (M spike 76)

That's a tough double, don't worry about it. Besides, it's nice that you can call this a "bad race" even though it blows away your high school 3200m (a good sign of progression).

Paul - or a sign of a bad high school coach!

Ruth, that really is a beastly double. It shows how much Coach thinks of you, what you mean to the team, and your future to put you in that as a Freshman. And the next time you have to pull something like that you'll be that much stronger - just think how easy an 800/med. 800 back-to-backer would be right now!

See you over Spring Break?

Holt - bad coaches don't produce state champs...and good coaches usually set up their athletes to progress into the future. :-)

Thanks I guess!

Paul - It hadn't even occurred to me that my time was an equivalent 11:02 3200m. Funny how your perspective changes...

Holt - I hope to never have to run ONE 800 again, let alone two! But yeah, I was planning on running with you guys next week over my spring break. I'm so excited to wear shorts and t-shirts again!!!!

Great job. Your 2 mile equivalent is now officially faster than mine.
