I'm pretty happy about this meet =)
Started out a bit hesitant, usual school/lack of sleep etc, but also got stitches out today and feet are still iffy so wasnt sure how everything would work out. Warmup stretch etc, timed a bit, then warm up for 400. Definitely did waaay too many drills (called out by Marisa w/ that one ahha) I'm still honestly not really quite sure how to race a 400 all out so I just went and raced and was tired after which is good =). Didnt have as much time as expected before the 8, so quick warmup/drills etc Marisa said she was gonna go 310 and I wasnt quite sure if I wanted to go with her or not. By the time we got out, and after a few steps, I knew I defintiely wanted to get ahead of that group and not hold back. I guess its better to hit a wall early then have a lot left at the end. Soo first lap very hard, then 2nd lap ran w/ 2 burke girls then passed like 3 girls on the 100m straightaway =) which felt so so good, because usually I'm racing alone. And surprisingly, I didn't hit a wall hard which means I know I can go more somewhere, I'm thinking the first curve of the 2nd lap. Its incredible to actually feel like I'm able to race again. Even though times aren't stellar, I'm still very very happy with today and how I'm feeling. Saturday was more of a leveling off day from the waaaay down but today got me going up again which is nice. Racing in spandex is also wonderful, might need to happen more often =)? It's nice to be in a good place again in regards to racing, which I think will take the training to another level too. Pretty tired, easy day will be nice tomorrow! Sweet novel, Leah. Love rambling =)
