Track meet second day in a row. It affects my mileage, but it's so much fun I have no regrets!
There were 2 women's races grouped by predicted times, and I got into the slower race. It turned out there was a big gap between me and the rest of the girls, so I had to run the entire race alone from the front. I got my picture taken few times and a lot of cheers. It was a little embarassing to have my picture taken (probably for the newsletter or club website), when I was running so slow. But I had a good race, regardless - better than yesterdays's 1500m. My splits were 1:35, 1:39, 1:39, 1:32. Again, my 400m speed predicts faster time.
The faster women's race was really fun to watch, with 4 women fighting for the lead all the way. The winner ran around 5:40, I think, and the last woman there ran 6:13. So I would have been dead last in that race, but maybe it would have pushed me to better time. But I feel like I ran according to my current fitness level.
Managed a cool down of 1.2mi, so got in about 4.5 miles - not bad for a track meet. |
