Notes
Youll notice theres no time trial here after i said today was gonna be the day. I had it planned out perfectly or what I thought was perfectly. I had tapered my training just enough that I felt healthy and rested but still strong. My workout Thursday felt awesome. The reps i did at my first lap pace felt controlled and like i had more gas in the tank. I scoped the track out yesterday and it had been 2 days in a row where the gate of the track was wide open without any construction crew so I figured it would have been like that again today. I got a good night sleep and I woke up this morning feeling great. I ate a good breakfast, hydrated well, took emergenC and was feeling psyched up and ready to race. However, a crucial part of my plan slipped through the cracks. I got to the track and for the first time in weeks the track gate was actually locked. I saw people inside cutting grass and stuff so i knew that was a sure sign they didnt want me there so schaumburg nats has been postponed. Im assuming its like this every weekend so im going to try again on Thursday and if that doesnt work Ill make a trek up north to the track Thomas uses, I just didnt today cause it was far and I didnt want to drag my dad up there spontaneously.
