Exercise Type: Run

Ran to AU. Paced a 1200 (3:30 - new PR) to help Peter Metz set his new PR in the mile. Kind of wish I'd kept up with him for the last lap, but that's a hard decision to make when you were planning to run only 1200 and you're in the intensity of what you though would be your final straightaway. Then paced Emma in a 6:02 mile (great job Emma!). Jumped into a 200m all out, though after I caught up to Jessie Christian in the final 40m I eased up a bit an yelled some words of encouragement. Hit a new PR (27.2) and felt like I could have reached 26 if I'd been running it for myself. Then paced Caroline in a remarkable 2:46 800m (I was feeling pretty tired at this point), and then set the pace of Julia in a flying 400 in 64 seconds (she went out in 30! I could barely keep up!). Lastly, jumped into a 100m sprint with a bunch of distance runners and sprinter but I can't be certain what my time was - 13.8 I think. All in all, an impressive group of time trial runners. I'm so happy to have hit my PR. Really should have stretched afterwards and cooled down from the 100. I was sore for several days.
