Notes

GrindFest Progression run on indoor 443m track. First mile was 6:10 ish and worked down to about a 4:50 last mile. Didn’t go to the well by any means, but still got a really good effort in. My goal was top 10 and so after we got down to 7 guys left I hung around until I felt like I was straining and called it there (lap 34)...wanted to play it smart and use it as more of a workout since it’s December. Clarke Otte was the only collegiate to beat me and he only got me by a lap. Wish I’d know he was there because I think I could’ve beat him, but oh well. The rest of the guys who beat me were either pros or very fit post collegiates. Eli got 4th and Lamere took 3rd. I have a few suggestions for the race director that I’m going to send him tomorrow, but overall it was a very fun time. I def will do it again next year. Out of season Friday core after.

Wow, that sounds like a really fun race! How does it work? Pacer-test kind of thing, where you get faster each lap?

Yeah, every three laps you get a faster split that you have to hit and if you fall off the pace you have to stop. The only annoying part is that the lap splits are meaningless because it’s a 443 meter track so it’s tough to tell how fast you’re actually going.
