First outdoor meet of the season today. Went pretty well I think. I was expecting to run with Joe/MJ/Mike, but I got put into a separate heat, so that left me fairly worried. I got out right away in the race, and stuck on the first pack of 5 or so guys. Apparently I was looking down the whole first 100m, so I should probably not do that in the future. But I stuck with the pack the whole time, splits came out to 71, 74, 74 and 57. Which doesn't actually add up to my actual time, but whatever. I felt really good staying with that front group. My legs felt really strong, breathing felt remarkably easy, and my form was damn near perfect. By the end I was able to pick off a few of the guys I was following, and ended up in third in my heat. The place doesn't say much considering it was the slow heat, but I think it was a solid race in all.

Followed up with a nice, slow cooldown barefoot on the turf. Gotta love abnormally warm weather.
