Some fun

I was planning a light track session in amongst the various races on the track tonight. After a 4km warm-up, and some deliberation on whether to race the 1,500m or not, common sense prevailed and I decided to watch the race (much easier).

I then helped out with the results for a few races and eventually got the chance to knock out some 200's (only 4) in an around 33 seconds with plenty of jog recovery. I was then roped into running in a mixed 4 x 400 team (me and 3 girls). I was first up and decided to give it a nudge. We had to start in the squat position which I struggled with and when the gun sounded I rose like a salmon (tinned). I was cruising by 200m then hit the windy bend and really struggled over the next 200m before handing over with a split of 60.5. We went on to finish in 3rd place which was a good result. The start and the wind cost me at least 15 seconds so the potential is there to run a low 45...

I finished up with a 3.2km warm-down. All up 9.2km for the day.
