Congrats to Keana! It’s no joke to run a PB all by yourself in the wilderness of lane 8. She should be incredibly proud of herself to run a 59 FAT! I wish I could say I was surprised, but we could all see it coming- she is a fierce racer. Please pass on congrats!
She races again tomorrow? Can she do anything regenerative? Contrast shower? That along with some light shaking massage should help her feel a bit refreshed. Charlie’s advise about massage was bang on; “Put your mind in neutral and rub.” It’s amazing how good you can get in a hurry!
Keep us posted on what happens tomorrow- not that the result matters as long as she runs her usual gutsy race. She already has tons to be proud of for running a PB today.
Rich, will you be training her yourself for outdoors? If so, can you get a little group going? You could control the program, which is a huge bonus. I bet there are lots of kids whose parents don’t have the time or energy (or who aren’t around) who could benefit from your passion for track, and it would make training way more fun for your daughter.
