I left my house 20mins late and when I got onto the freeway there was a crash, I thought there’s no way I will make it on time. Anyways, I arrived at the meet and didn’t feel like competing because the weather was shit 65-68 degrees, cloudy with wind and the track felt soft.
I felt pretty good in my warm-ups but didn’t know what to expect. The blocks they had at the meet weren’t adjustable so that threw me off a little.
Results:
100: 10.68
400: 58.5
The 400m race was 20mins after the 100m; I caught cramps in my calves and probably should have scratched. I didn’t have anyone holding my blocks for the 400m race and I slipped coming out which wasn’t a big deal since I didn’t care about my time. The first 250 didn’t feel that bad but the last 150 was brutal and the final 10-20m I had to jog in. The next time I run a 400m I need to play towards my strength which is my speed and attack the first 300m hard, I am not a 400m runner and no matter what I will not have anything towards the finish so I must take advantage of my speed.

Overall not a bad session considering I still have a little tightness in my lower body. The weights went well, bench press felt heavy but I got all reps.
The plans today was to do tempo runs but the rain storm put an end to those plans. The bike workout went well and I am starting to like it even though the volume is low. Tomorrow will be a easy start session and weights.
Felt a little tight in warm-ups but things got better when I got to the starts. I will be racing in the 100/200m tomorrow and should have some good competition, hoping I can have the same luck with the weather.
Thanks! The weather was OK, it started to rain during the heats of the 100m and there was 50 heats of the 100m so we had to sit around for like an hour. I didn’t run the 200m because I was pissed since I had to spend 2hrs warming up/staying warm and my body didn’t feel good, the winning time was 10.80.
