Monday April 16 Relay checks and 10x100 tempo.
Tuesday April 17 Meet!
The temp at our school when we left was 60F, when we arrived at the school of the meet, it was 43F (1 hour north!)
The kids didn’t warm up at all. I am stuck doing stuff at the finish line and can’t get to the kids. After they saw their times and had our chat today about warm-up, I tihnk they get the point.
Both boys and girls won the meet. The highlight was my hurdler, running 39.45 and breaking the 39.6 school record. He ran the turn into the wind and hit hurdle #2, hurdle #3 was really bad as he landed off balance. We have set a goal of 37.4 by June 2. A mix of flight time reduction and meet races, I think he can get there.
This saturday we have a relay meet, against some better competition.
Currently in the county, my kids are #1 or #2 in every running event except the 100, 4x200 and 800. My 800 kids can run faster but doing the 4x800-400-800 gauntlet leaves them wiped for the last run of the day.
Next Tuesday is an easy meet and the hurdler is going after the 400 and 200 school records, set last year.
One of the indoor guys ran another 51.7 coming in to 300 at 36 with a wind on the turn. Next Tuesday he is going for a full out 800 to try to run 2:00.
Wednesday April 18
Tempo: 10x200 easy pace.
