Went to the gym tonight and did some adductor and abductor work. Have a little bit of a groin strain that I'm trying to correct, not really bad. Also did a bike ride today. Both stairmaster machines were broken, so I did rowing machine.
Despite the results coming in from Australia, including 2 new Masters WRs in the women's 400m, they have canceled their National Championships in Canberra. This is surprising since there hasn't been 1 single covid death in 2021 in Australia, while the US has had a stunning 75,000 deaths during the same 25 days this year. Due to the vaccine, I do think the Nationals will happen by late summer in the US.
Rob M. (M63) has made his presence known by posting his best 400m time in 3 yrs, 58.60. That would be a good goal to beat when I run my first race.
As much as I hate to miss it, I won't likely race in Birmingham next weekend. Perhaps Berry on the 2/12 if I can get permission. Still not at race weight. Been hard to lose this last few lbs. Daily range has been about 144 - 148 lbs, or a little less.
Coach Ryan B. put out an article on the value of tempo interval training. Intensive tempo is the single most beneficial type of workout for a long sprinter in my opinion, but also the most taxing. I try to do one of these a week.
It's supposed to rain all day tomorrow, so probably return to the track Tues.
