Pre race day - first home meet

On the Murphy Center track this evening, teams were there in their color coded uniforms, warming up, taking starts, running around the track in preparation for tomorrows meet: The Blue Raider Invitational. I chatted briefly with an MTSU hurdler and some other athletes. The carnival atmosphere abounds.

I didn't come to do anything real demanding. I didn't even take my watch. Just went to get loose, stretch, work up a light sweat, do some starts, run some turns, and think about the races.

600m warmup, stretches, drills

Adidas spikes on

3 x 100m - on the curve, accelerating to 400m pace

150m strider

4 block starts

No heat sheets up yet. Guess I'll find out tomorrow. They have to finish the polevault that starts at 11:00 am before any running events can begin. The 400m is the second running event after the mile. Scheduled at 2:20 pm. There should be more than an hour n between the 400 and 200.

Weight is on target: 137.8 lbs. Should be about the same by race time.
