100m -> 11.63,11.56
4x100m anchor
school dance
notes:
-finally able to hold form through a race. breakdown only in last ten meters first round and none the second round. now i just need to apply more force which in effect generally also increases my frequency and if i keep my form ill see a huge pr
-got fourth in central mass which qualified me for the state championship. i’ll be seeded very near the bottom but itll be fun just to be there, and i think after another light week and finally being able to run my own race i can see a big pr still. i can tell its my SE thats holding me back because the 11 flat kids do not pull away from me until past 50m
-i pr’d and didnt have a good start in either round
-had a good 4x1 leg, i moved up two spots (from 6th in my heat to 4th), kept upright and felt smooth
sun may 29
rt drill
self-massage
microstretching
notes:
-outer glute soreness. not sure whether that’s from dancing or the racing yesterday
