First Outdoor meet
We opened up our outdoor season this past weekend at SIU Carbondale. I have a lot of friends in Carbondale, so it was good to get to see them at the meet. The weather could have been better, but I didn't expect it to be. It was pretty chilly and windy for most of the day. I had a fairly light day, and only ran the 800 and 4x400.
In my second career 800 I went out much more conservatively than the first one I ran. I pretty much hung with the pack until about 600m, then they pulled away. I didn't really break down, but I can't say I kicked either, and finished in 2:00.2 which was almost the same time as my first 800, but this one didn't hurt nearly as much.
After the 800, I kicked it for a while until the 4x400. I ran anchor and split around 47.4 which is where I felt I was at in my training. It's hard to trust your training regimen when you see a lot of guys running fast already (that 45.5 by Green comes to mind haha), but I know that my coach knows what he's doing, and I'm confident I'll be in a position to meet my goals when the outdoor championships come around.
This coming weekend we have a home meet. Hopefully the weather is better than last year. It actually SNOWED.... I'm probably going to run another 800, so I get to look forward to that haha.
