Trial of Miles, Miles of Trials

3 miles to highland and back. Jake and Parker were kind enough to go back with me so I didn't have to do the last 3 by myself, had the lowest mileage in the group today. Didn't wear a watch which is nice. 45 min. on the bike after

2 mile warmup. 10X200 at mile pace with 90 sec active rest, basically just me and Thom today. Splits were 31-33 for the first 8 with a 29 on the 3rd or 4th one. Last 2 were both 28s. Pretty easy workout so I wanted to go faster but coach said to keep it controlled. Cool down to 6 miles and 20 min on the bike.

High mileage cross train day so that sucked. An hour and 45 min on the bike in the burning furnace of death. I'm so behind in my scripture reading so I listened to the about 20 chapters and that kept me super pumped. Did some lifting after.

5 min on the bike then 3.75 miles. Pre meet strides, 2X800, starts. 800s were right on pace, 68s. Cooled down with the girls, went back with Sami which was fun. Only 10 more minutes on the bike after cuz I had a dentist appointment. Calves are super wrecked from raises yesterday.

1.5 mile shake out run during conditioning. Got to the oval and warmed up a mile. Stomach felt really crappy. I was in the second row of heat 2, gun went off and I got out horrible near the back. Just stayed there for the first couple laps then moved up and passed a bunch of people. I think I could've won my heat but I wasnt up where I should've been for most of the race. 2.5 mile cool down to get to 6.

Turned around at .75 cuz my Achilles was being weird and my calf was super tight. Got back, rolled out, and changed into the rides. Did 4 and a half more to get to 6, no more problems. Felt good for day after race, pace was 7:05-7:10.
