Let’s Get Jets!!

Quick 2ish shakeout, made breakfast, then drove hour+ to Saginaw, then jogged some more before I chilled for an hour or so and then had the longest warmup for the mile. Jog was short, but we kept getting pushed back because of heptathlon and other heats of the mile. Still, being 2nd in the heat, it was an exciting field. Went out hard and stayed in front of the second guy, desperately trying to increase the distance between us. Splits were 2:25/2:21; I think with better competition I would have inched closer to 4:40. Still, PR is a PR and I’m quite happy. Long cooldown, then it wasn’t too long before I had to warmup for 3k. Did manage to drain some lactic acid before an additional warmup and then the 3k was off. This time, I REALLY should’ve gone out faster because the front pack moved up quick and didn’t slow down. Managed to pass 2 guys, but it was a lonely lonely race. Goal was to get under 9:30 and I splat something like 4:45/4:42. Not much of an impressive kick but I did get under 9:30 and got a 5-second PR. Long cooldown and called it for the day.

2 PRs at one meet, not too bad, especially given the unideal circumstances of the races. Perhaps next time I’ll run less in between, I overshot trying to stay warm. Either way, might take tmrw off or shoot for 8-10 to hit 70 for the week.
