Notes
Warning: .... actually, no warning, no one read's this but me.
I drove to the Ames high school track for the first time to see if it was open. It was. I ran many races here in high school. Won some JV 2miles and set my high school 800m PR here (2:10).
I started my warm-up away from the stadium, that was a mistake. About a mile in I started looking for bathrooms. No luck at 2 parks but I was heading towards Ada Hayden which I knew had one. Problem is I didn't know it was closer to 3miles away than 2miles from Ames High. So yeah, I wouldn't be writing this much unless I didn't make it to the bathroom in time. Possibly my biggest blowout ever. I spent at least 15min cleaning up.
Afterwards, I kept to my plan of tempo back to my car, 2miles in 6:00, 5:48. I didn't feel too disgusting so I decided to still get on the track. I wanted to do a cut-down mile but had already canceled that due to the wind and me being a chump. Instead, I finally did a true 200m workout. Ok, still only 10x200m but at least that's all I did on the track. The repeats felt fine, about 31/32 for all of them. The wind at my back helped the pace but messed with my form a bit.
Short <1mi cool down but it was nice as I did it "barefoot in socks" on the artificial turf.
