Notes
UChicago indoor meet. 20 up (5 tempo), 1mi race, 10ish down with 5ish uptempo.
Super fun day today. Warmed up in about 60° temps with John and Bren. Felt kinda sleepy on the w/u and wasn't sure how things were gonna go. Seeded myself at 4:45 but wouldn't have been surprised anywhere +-5 seconds. John started the day off right running a smart race for the W with a nice time. My plan was to get out near the lead and try and win the heat. Started a little further back than I would have liked, probably 7th-8th or so. Heard pretty even splits and did a good job staying engaged when I was tired, making sure to keep passing and keep the lead within reach. Hit 400 to go in 4th place, worked pretty hard to stay on the heels of the top 3 but when they went at 200 I couldn't hang. Still gave what I had for the last 200 and through the line, barely held off one guy in the stretch, so happy with the fight. Pleased with the time and the effort today, and Bren gave the group a nice bookend with a good race himself.
Ran 5ish with John and Mitch Gilbert, then picked it up with Bren. Hit wash park, the plaisance, Jackson, and the lake on the c/d, in case you haven't heard I really like this area of the city. Great day all around.
