Puddle sprints



Woke up at 4:30am to a terrific clap of thunder.  Looked at the radar and saw that I was in for a rain delay.

Got to the track about 6:20 but had to run to the Music Building to use the toilet after warmup, further delaying my workout.

Nevertheless, it was a relatively cool 73º, cloudy, with a south breeze blowing up the home stretch at 6:45 am.



I ran fast long sprints with recovery.
400m warmup, dynamic stretches, drills 
Saucony spikes on 
500m - 78.5  (63, 15.5) 
3 x 300m - 43.5, 44, 45
It was hard, especially after one of my fastest workout 500s - I hit the 400 at 63.  Looking at the workout, it seemed a whole lot harder than it should have been.  Looking back, rarely do I sprint more than 3 sub 45 300s after a fast 500, so I guess it's par.

Still waffling about the 200m at Nationals.  I'm leaning toward not staying, but will leave the option open for a last minute decision.
