Ran the first leg of the 4x1600 and third leg of the 4x800. Didn't feel any of the aches or pains from the week, which was nice. It's always difficult racing this early. I felt unusually tense in my upper body in both races. The 16 went pretty well, although the waterfall start was difficult and I ended up splitting a 70 (I think) for the first lap and then dropping down a ton for the next three. Not my smartest race ever... Otherwise, I just tried to stick with the pack in front of me, which I did until about the last lap when they got away. Huge shoutout to Jeff for stepping in for the third leg.

After jogging around the infield for five minutes, stretching, and doing an abridged warmup, I ran the third leg of the 4x8 with Frankie, Jacob Greene, and Aaron. We got out very far behind, but we all stuck with it decently. I was not expecting a good time, the 8 has been especially tough for me this year, but I am happy that I was able to split evenly: 72 and 72. Hopefully as the season progresses I'll have a stronger kick in all of my races, something thatI definitely lacked in the winter and so far in the spring.
