400m time trial in spikes, weight pulls

Windy and seasonably cool, low 70ºs and mostly sunny at the Sewanee track.  First time in spikes since Penn.  My dad made a rare visit to the track with me.  

It went pretty well, no injuries.  Came in just under goal.

Hoka trainers on

stretches, 100m, drills, bands

100m - 13.84

Adidas Prime SP2 spikes on (xmas tree spikes)

400m - 58.74 (26.54, 32.20 / 12.66, 13.88, 15.17, 17.03)

4x45 yd 90lb weight pulls

My splits were wildly off, I was shooting for 14,14,15,16 or 28, 31 = 59.  I met the goal despite the stupid splits.  My dad had me in 58.3 on his watch but I think mine was accurate, and it was with a 3 step running start.   First 100m was too fast, even rolling, and my 200m was even faster than I ran at Nationals in the '21 championship where I ran 56.78.  A gust of wind caught me on the turn to the home stretch and the last 100m was really weak.   Anyway, still a 41.71 at the 300m is a good split.  Just need to shave a second off the last 100m.  I now think I could break 60 in a race if it's no too windy.  A lot of work to do if I'm going to medal at Nationals.  This will likely be my last nationals in this M60 age group.

The weight pulls were tough and pretty much done to failure.

Light but not real light.  140.7 lbs after workout.
