250, 200

Low mid 60s, sunny, W wind shifting.   Did two rolling long sprints hard, pretty much all out in spikes.

Hoka trainers on

Stretches, drills, 2x100, bands

Adidas spikes on

250m  - 32.51 (12.25, 13.37, 6.89 / 25.62, 6.89)

200m - 25.84 (12.37, 13.47)

Was going to run a 100m, but got talking with Bill the Sewanee track coach.  He notified me he's resigned.  It seems particularly tough to coach here, especially track.  It's kind of like a bad guitar program... you have to tolerate mediocrity and not push the kids too hard or they'll quit.  

Anyway, the weather looks not so good for Sewanee's meet this Saturday.  Mid 50's, wind and rain.  The forecast keeps getting worse every time I look.  Hope it's not like this at Penn.  

Speaking of Penn, start lists announced.   I should be able to medal in the 100m, and Don looks to be my main competition.  It's always close between us.  I've never beaten him in a 100m, but trounced him in the 200m in '21.  I could win it.   That race will happen, rain or shine.  I'm hoping to anchor my teams 4x100m and lead off the 4x400m.  We could win one or both.  

They've announced the Masters Exhibition at Hayward at USATF Championships early July, and I may be able to qualify again.  It's a M55-64 200m race.  I would assume they would take the top 6 M55 and the top 2 M60s... kind of like they did in the 800m exhibition last yr.  If I get in I'll be one of the slowest and will probably not get a good lane, but thats ok, it's about running at Hayward.   

142 lbs after workout.  Will do a conditioning workout Wed.
