I went to Veale before the relay race and found Chris Wade who also wanted to warm up a couple miles to the track. It felt like we were going a little fast but I put that from my mind.

Coach decided that due to the awesomeness of my captainship of the relay from last year, I would be captain again. But this time she changed the intervals considerably to add some goofyness to the race and made the first two laps of the race a steeplechase. Unfortunately, David Dixon was the other captain and won the coin toss, so they managed to get every steeple chase runner on the team except for Ben so it was pretty much over after the coin toss. I ran the tempo loop mile against Chris Kelly on the other team. We were way beyond by then and while I don't think I hurt us much if any it was already way over. Oh well.

I cooled down with Chris Wade and Little Joe and talked about some of the great runners past on the team.

This was a weird day because I ran only five miles and the 'workout' was about one mile and way shorter for almost everyone else.
