Two laps warmup, stretching and drills, then we had a time trial! It was shorter distances this year, 100, 800, 300 meters in that order. I did the 800 and 300, went out hard in the 800 and then cramped up second lap and honestly just tried not to slow down so much that I was crawling. I think maybe the cold contributed to that. So first lap was a 71, which means second was 77-78, yikes. It was a high 2:28. It was windy and cold and also hard cause I was alone. I guess it was alright for only being a time trial :) Also I was slipping a lot because turns out I was missing a spike, literally in the most needed spot for my stride (I do this little thing with my foot subconsciously and without a spike there I didn't have much power.) then the 300 I went out at a pace I felt good at then the last 100 Ellie was just a little ahead of me so I kicked and won that heat! Time was 47 seconds. Then we went for 8 miles and at the end 6 burnouts - 100 meters as hard as you can and 100 meters recovery, continuous. It was a good workout.
