Crimson Tide Meet

April 2, 2011 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Weather: 50 and cloudy, then some sleet, then sunny, then some hail....

Comments:
disorganized meet started an hour late, which made warmups a miserable process...and the weather made things really bad too. got to test my patience and ability to lead despite adverse conditions haha.
ran the 2mile in 13:32 (6:48, 6:44). relatively even splits. hardly winded afterwards. had no one to run with, and felt like I was pushing but didn't realize how slow I was apparently going until i heard the time (kill me). i need to get some more solid training in for this 2mile...maybe run a time trial of it with someone pacing me so i know what it feels like to work hard. julia was in the faster section and ran a 13:04 - there's no reason why i can't run in the 13:10 range. let's go marisa.
also ran the first leg of the 4x8, which was a joke because it sleeted and lighteninged as we were warming up and we all had to go inside, get cold, then warmup a little again, the be reorganized on the line into one heat, then run. it was really bad. but i ran the time i always do (2:57), which I'm satisfied with for now. i know the 800 is not really my race...
