#trackattack is back! did a 400 warmup 800 800 800 800 4x200, abs workout: warmup 800 1600 800 1600 4x200, abs Reopening of Kezar Stadium has definitely brought a bigger crowd. We had 29 people today. Though I need to build back up to doing the full track workout, I did have a couple of minor personal achievements this morning. During part of the second 1600, when I was starting my 800, I managed to draft Jeff drafting Andy Cochrane for 200m (half a lap). Though Andy is still in recovery mode he's still ridiculously fast from my perspective. Being able to "keep up" with Andy, even for just a half a lap, even when he was "taking it easy", and in the middle of a 1600, felt like doing the impossible, and emboldened me to push harder on average in my other runs, including... On the second 200 I made sure to take-off exactly when Kate said go. As I exited the turn onto the back straight, I started kicking farther back & up, and managed to pass & finish that 200 ahead of a couple of people who are usually much faster than me. I could barely breathe afterwards.
