Speed workout! Warmup, then 3k @ GP 11:30, break, 4x400 @ GP 72 w/3:00 rest, break, 3x500 @ GP 1:30 w/2:00 rest. Times were 11:30, 72, 71, 71, 72, 1:29, 1:31 and 1:32. Mostly, it went really well. The last couple missed the mark a bit, but I gave it everything I had! So, the workout was a success. And killed me dead. (DS 245.7) (S spike 15.2)

Did the usual loop in the morning. Had a lot on my mind, so it went by quite quickly. Life is CRAZY! (K 535.8)

Weights in the afternoon.

Easier speed workout! 1600 @ GP 6:08, 1200 @ GP 4:36, 800 @ GP 3:04 w/ 1:30 break between, then 2x800's at 2:48 w/ 2:00 break and a 300 acceleration. Went really well, mostly just easy and nice. ((DS 250.5) (S spike 18.6)

Easy out-and-back on the TT course and it felt good and comfortable. Some shinnanningans and downheavals, but not bad overall. Then weights! (K 544)

Ran from our hotel to Hayward Field with a little detour in Alton Baker Park. It's so pretty here! I love it. Except for the fact that it went from sunshine and blue skies to hailing in less than a minute. That was no good. Once we got to the track, I ran around a few times in spikes just to get a feel for it and let the legs go for a bit. Feeling pretty crappy. Hopefully I'll get over the travel and lack of sleep by tomorrow! (DS 255) (S spike 19.4)

AWESOME RACE! I'm so super excited! I PR-ed by 26 seconds and it didn't even kill like it does at altitude. Again, I love sea-level so much! I had to break 17:30 today so that I could win my bet, so I was aiming for 84/lap beforehand. I started off a bit quick with the Oregon girls and stuck with them for the first mile or so, then I lost the pack and basically ran on my own for the rest of the race. Reeder was telling me splits, so I knew I was doing pretty well. A few girls dropped off the lead pack and I got one right away and gradually reeled in the other two so I passed them both on my last lap. Shin hurt though. And a lot of Oregon girls beat me. But I beat 2 of them! Mostly, I'm just so excited! Woo hoo! (DS 260.6) (S spike 22.5)
