Exercise Type: Run

Comments:
anchored the 4x8, 8:38 / 2:04. warm up wasnt ideal to say the least, had to wait 25 minutes to use the bathroom so my jog had to be short, lots of shuffling around in place trying to keep warm in the bull pen, no striders, and to top it off, they made us sit down for the entire first heat! even so, I was surprisingly calm for the first race, I think driving there myself helped the nerves. the official ruined the race for some teams by trying to get the 2nd runner to hand off after only three laps. luckily bassett kept his head and didnt take the baton - some third legs had to run a 1000. got the handoff in what seemed like the middle-back of the pack. already breathing heavy a hundred meters in, but it didnt scare me. i like the 800 because it never gets to my head. was picking people off the entire race, including ron busby (who got the baton ahead of me) during the third lap! we ended up getting 3rd in the heat. good first race. knee feeling better, new kinvaras must be helping
