UNI Meet
Pretty decent start for the MD crew and for the team as a whole. TB ran a good race and finished around 2:00.8, Otto and Mouse ran an identical 1:55.9, and Hummer ran a 1:54.9. Then Otto, Mouse, and Hummer ran a 4x400. Mouse and Hummer ran side by side for much of the race and both finished with splits of 50.1, Otto kept it real with a 52.6.

OMG awesome day for a track meet!! Awesome sun, no wind, and lots of awesome energy.
The meet coordinators ran every event slower than expected so we quickly fell about 1.5 hours behind.
Hummer and I got to the start line for our 800, and then they delayed for about 10 minutes while they broke the timing system.
I was out in the back of the pack with a healthy 56, and with 300 to go, i kicked hard to move to the front of the pack but that only lasted for 200m, so I struggled to run the last 100m.
I plan to sit patiently (as guthrie yelled at hummer to do) at the next race until there is 200 to go, at which I'll get in lane 2 and open up full throttle
It was a great day to run thats for sure. I felt pretty good during the race. I stayed in the back for the first lap then made a move at 400. I know now that I should have waited a little bit longer. I could only hold my position for 300m. If I had waited I believe I would have finished stronger and broke 2:00. I am happy with 2:00.8 though.
I felt pretty good for th erace today. Though my legs were a little fatigued from the last few weeks they still had enough energy to do the job. I was happy with my patience and the way I compeeted. I am looking forward to later in the season when the last 300 will become my playground. This week I couldn't do much before 150 to go. I'd lik eto work on my form in the home stretch, though I think it was fairly good I feel like my shoulders raised a little bit and made me tighter than I needed/wanted to be coming home. Though it wasn't something drastic I think there is room for improvement.
Nice job to everyone! Fantastic first race.
The weather was as nice as I could have hoped for. Cool and sunny with just a small hint of wind. The race itself went ok for the first time out. I started out in lane 8 so it wasnt to fun to cut in. I found myself falling pretty far back in the back. It was not to bad because the race was moving at a reasonable pace. Right now I dont know what any of my splits were but I know what was good and what was not. My first 200 was pretty good. My middle 400 was not good. I just almost shut down and fell farther back in the pack. I didnt make a move until about 120m to go. I went from 8th to 4th in the last 120. I was happy that I was able to finish strong(something I couldnt do indoor), but I started my push way to late and I just couldnt make it up. When I finished the race I figured it was about 1:57.5 so I was happy when I saw 1:55.9.
The 4X4 was a fun race. I got the baton right behind Hummer and just sat on him the whole time. I tried to pass him down the stretch but could only get even with him. It was a decent 50.1. I didnt feel very tired after the race...I just couldnt move much faster during it.
I totaled 6miles today putting me at 32.5 miles so far for the week.
