Therapy session:
I had a friend visit from San Antonio on Tuesday, so I had to either a) appear to be an inhospitable asshole or b) blow off my tempo workout. I chose the latter.
I got some therapy on Wednesday for about an hour. This work was less deep as my meet was coming up in a few days, and there was a short speed session scheduled for Thursday.

Speed workout:
warmup
buildups- 1x10, 1x20, 1x30 flats, 2x20, 1x30 spikes
3x30m accelerations on straight from rolling start
2x10, 2x20, 3x30 accelerations from 200m start on curve
This was a really a great session. It was my first time in the blocks in a while, and Frank tweaked my block position a little bit, and it helped get excess pressure off my hands. I still only pushed out with one leg at first, but got it sorted on the next few reps and had a few really good efficient accels out to 30m and beyond on the curve. He got me to stop rushing my first few steps and get full extension on each stride. I finally could feel how much faster I could be running if I got my start sorted out. It just sets up the rest of the race so much better!
Anyway, I felt good going into my weekend travel to Colorado for the State Games meet in Colorado Springs on Sunday.
