C Mantz Run

Warmed up a mile with the girls. Our workout was 20x200@rpace with a 200 in between. I was still feeling amazing from last Saturday. It was pretty cloudy. As the workout went on, it got windy and rainy. The boys had a meeting, and we wanted to get in as many 200s as possible before lightning hit, so we started before them. They were all really good. I couldn't find my normal stopwatch, so I didn't get them recorded, but they were pretty consistent from 37-39s. I was supposed to hit 40's, but I only hit one that slow (my second). It was super rainy and cold, so after 10, I grabbed my jacket and after 11, I put my jacket on. I was so wet, it wouldn't go over my arms, and Coach pretty much had to help me get my jacket on which was pretty funny. That recovery was a little slow. My recoveries did get slower, but the front stretch headwind was so bad. At one point I think it hailed. Towards the end it got pretty intense. Then the lightning hit. I finished up number 15, then went inside. Inside, we did 1.5 laps for each 200 on the upstairs track. It mentally broke me, so I just hoped for 40 seconds hard. After, I cooled down a mile. It would've been nice to run the last 5 outside, but I'm glad we could finish.

Don't thinj we even got a mile warmup, but our cool down made up for it. We did 3 miles tempo. I was realy ready for his workout. The first mile, I stuck right behind the guys. It was windy, but I drafted which was nice. It was a 6:07. The first half of the second mile was slower, but I stayed right behind the pack which consisted of Jordan, Doyle, Reed, Cameron, JC, and Austin. After we turned around, the pack dropped and spread out. Coming back, the sun came out and it got super hot. I stuck with Jordan and Reed, Doyle wasn't too far behind. That mile was a 6:30. I wasn't mentally ready for the third mile. On top of that I had to use the bathroom. It broke me, and my form wasn't super great. If I could have mentally been there, I would have stayed with them. Doyle passed me, then Cameron. I finished that mile in a 6:50 which was sad. Oh well. My overall time was a 19:30, so not bad for that last mile. Cooled down a little over a mile.

Later, I ran 3 miles with Ruby. It was pretty windy.

I don't know why I didn't get in more mileage today. We had a recovery day where we went to Mack Park and played games. We did some strides there. Running on the grass hurt my foot, so I ran on the path. We played some new game pertaining to the ocean, then some good ol' 10 dot dot. When I got home, I was going to run more, but it never happened. Pretty mad at myself for not doing more.

We were required to run at a dual meet, so Coach told us to run the 3200m easy, then run long and easy. It was at Freemont. I warmed up .5 with Sarah, then paced her for a sub-14. She did awesome, getting a 13:57. It was fun cheering. I then warmed up/cooled down with people. I went 3 with the guys on a 5k course we found. It may or may not be Freemont's xc course, but it was on the road. Later did part of it with Clara. Got a total of 10, then hung out on the bleachers freezing with everybody else because it was a windy day. My foot was hurtong after all of the miles, but it will probably be my last long day over 10 until after state.

Premeet. Ran to Mack Park wih the girls. I did the 6 strides on the path again, still can't run on grass because any random angle makes my foot hurt. I went ahead because the breaks in between were so long. I finished my 5th, but then all the girls left after their 4th. Luckily, the guys were there, so I jogged around waiting for them. Ran back. My foot still hurt, but I should be fine racing tomorrow.

Orem Tiger Trials. I had an entry, but when I posted it it got deleted. Too lazy to rewrite.
