Vets track Thursday night
In the 3000m my 11:27.45 season’s best by 12 seconds was the only real training group highlight; my splits were 3:50, 3:51 and 3:46. I glanced at the garmin at 1500m, those splits were 5:45 and 5:42. All in all I had an uncharacteristic surge in the last two laps, and felt stronger than usual. However, this season's target pace for 5000m is still faster.
The 800m times were slow because of the strong wind.
It cooled down and calmed down somewhat for the novelty race, the spiral 7 ("Why do they always get the best conditions?" he asked again) and the runners who actually tried did quite well. But I don't think much of this race except as a cool-down: the up-and-down handicapping makes no sense at all, and what I find most off-putting is that burglars abound.
But I am in good spirits having achieved my race target of a sub 11:30. I would like to thank Bryce for running steadily at that pace for much of the race, helping me along!
