Saturday 3/28
Spartans Invite
400m:50.60e
200m:22.58e +0.2w
4X400m:48.6 split

notes: We had our first big invite of the year today and it didn’t go exactly as I would have liked. First of all the track we ran on wasn’t 400m on the inside lane and the staggers were all screwy. Additionally it rained the past two days and while the track was dry on the surface it was water logged, making every step squishy and slow. I’m upset with my 400m, I need to be faster at this point and despite the outside factors I should have run faster.
