Because we didn't have a meet, we did a workout to make up for it. It was pretty chilly, but once we stared running, we warmed up. After a 1.5 warmup because us girls had to wait for the guys, Coach explained the workout he made up. We would have a relay team of 3 (but we were uneven, so my team had 4, and 2 girls would run together) and we would roll the dice. 1 meant a 100, 2 meant a 200, and so on. 5 was a 200 and 6 was a 300, so we didn't have to do more than a 400. We would do 2 sets all out (as a relay) and during each set we would roll the dice to see what we would have next. After 2, we roll to see how far our recovery was. The first team to get each individual to run 3200m wins (including the break). It seems complicated, but our group understood it perfectly which included me, Kelsee, Harmony, and Cassy. We had a system going. We first rolled a 300m, so I started. My 300m was around a 55 (it was hard to tag and stop my watch at the same time, so the times are a little off). We then rolled another 300 which swas a 58 for me. We got a 200m recovery in together which had us right at the startig line (where the dice was). Then we rolled another 300, which was a 59 for me. After that we had another 300 which was a 57. Again, our recovery was 200, so we were back at the start. We then rolled a 400, I got a 1:21split. Then another 300 where my time was a 58. Our recovery was 300m which again had us at the start. Coach wanted to see where we were and chose a number for us, a 400m. I was up for it because that meant one 200 left. My 400 split was a 1:22, then the 200 was a 39. I was way pumped to be done! Our group won for the girls, so that was fun, too. In between most sprints, I usually jogged atleast 200, to roll the dice, tell my group members our next distance, or get to where I needed to be. The back stretch was a pretty stond headwind, which I always ended up runnig into, but it makes me tougher. After a while, we finally cooled down around the track, backwards. It was a way fun workout, and I would be willing to do it again. I was actually way tired after, too. One thing was, though, that I still had my cough, and I hadn't sprinted like this since before being sick, so it killed me after each set. Hopefully I can be ready for Monday. I was gonna more, but didn't.
