Notes

Weight from before I left for the track at about 5:45pm.

This was actually very encouraging though the result wasn't even close to what I wanted. Can see that I got slower and slower as the race went on but I attribute that to the heat. Give me a 70 degree day and I don't think I wilt that badly. for the 3rd track race in a row I miscounted laps only this time I thought I still had another lap to go and figured out that I was on the last lap with about 30m to go. I noticed the finish crew waving me into lane 4 which is where they want you to finish and was only able to sprint the last 30m! I absolutely could have started a strong finish at 300m out. Ahh, well.

My confidence is high for the Race for the Arts in Sac in a few weeks.

Also, went out in a ridiculously fast 81.5 second 1st lap = DUMB. I'm thinking that 81,5 second pace felt easy from all the speedwork and short distance races I've done lately. Need to make sure to not do that in Sacramento.
