AM - What a day.. so slept through my alarm so I had to hurry and get up and sprint to the course to meet up with the team. They had already done drills and were about to start strideouts in flats, so I just jumped in with them... I felt pretty stiff and tired (duh)
We were going to do 2 sets of 5x600m with 300m rest. We got separated into 2 groups, and I was in the 2nd group. We were supposed to go between 1:55-2:00.
On the first 3 sets I was dogging it in the back. Going up the hill hurt pretty bad, and I felt like crap when we turned onto the downhill, so I just hung behind Brett, Mitch, and Jordan. After the 3rd set, I started warming up a tad and I began to move up through the pack. By the end of the set I was with Kody, and we hit 2:00, 2:01 on the last 2.
On the start of the 2nd set Coach really separated us, so Colby, Justin, Dylan and Ben ran up front and the rest of us were behind. Kody and Jon worked 1-2 up front on the hill for the first 400m, and the rest of us worked off them. We hit 1:53 on the first one, then went back up controlled and went 1:57, 1:57... on the last 2 we pushed it a little more, 1:56, then 1:53. I led the last one, I wanted to finish the workout strong so I kinda dropped the hammer. Overall it was a great workout.
