Notes
STEEPLECHASE.
NYSCTC championships at UR. Ran in the first of two sections of the steeple. Race was eh. Goal was to compete well in the heat and PR again, I was hoping to run in the 10:20s. First half of the race went well, I was on a good pace and I made a move up to sit on 5th in my heat, but then on the final k I was really struggling, slowed a lot and was really jerky over the barriers, felt like I lost a lot of momentum and I clipped one. Felt like I had more at then end but it was hard to get into a faster rhythm with the hurdles throwing me off. Was pretty much clearing the water but maybe that wasn't the best, could have been jumping too high.
So now is the time to start thinking about summer training/ XC. As usual, I am full of naive exuberance and unfounded optimism, and have some rather ambitious goals for the fall and beyond. However, first I must endure a full TWO WEEKS off. Lord give me strength. Will not run again until I arrive in Pembroke again on the 19th.
RPI won the meet btw, some awesome performances Tyler/ Brandon 3:58/4flat, Sean 10k/5k double, PCav 2nd in steeple, Dyan 1:55/ 49. Stud from Rochester went 3:53/ 1:53. Oh and btw Wes ran 9:15 2 mile back home at Weston Twilight. Can't wait to watch his collegiate career- Northeastern will really have gotten a steal after he breaks 9 in the deuce this spring.
