just for the run of it

did .5 wu then 3x400s at mile pace but i was kinda excited and felt really good and hit 78. 75, 76. cd for 2.5. hopped on bikes and did 1 set of 8x20sec hard and 10sec rest which was so killer cause the rest was spent changing resistance. finished up biking for 25min and then did abs&hips. shoutout to zack cause i saw him at the developmental center yesterday and shoutout to mike for making sweethearts legendary. 

what a stellar day, ran more than i biked (: we ran down love lane in honor of valentine's day and i finished up to 3 with bryn. got back and biked 22min with a 15min endurance ride with my heart rate around 140ish. did abs&hips and good stuff. 

mile wu then 2x400s for premeet. hit 78, 80. feeling alrightish. cd for 3 then biked 20min. threw in a 10min hill climb. we will see how racing goes tomorrow. 

woah what a day. got to simplot at like 2pm lol and chilled and did hw and card games until i started watching races and wow so much crazy stuff, it got me pumped. HUGE shoutout to parker and mike for qualifying for finals. went on a wu with guppy kaylee and bryn and we talked about cemeteries and dead people which wow, what a way to prep for a race. was feeling very nervous in the bullpen, did some strides and tried to calm myself even tho two legends were in my heat, brie oakley and guppy struthers. planned to actually just stick at the back of the pack and see how that felt. gun went off and lol thought i had bad position cause i wasn't in the very back but i just thought, oh well, we can see how this goes. just stuck beside some girls for the first 600, then decided to pull up, because believe or not, i use this tactic in bike workouts to make sure i don't kill myself too fast but slowly build up. came in 800 @ 2:42 and thought hey let's keep this going. my team was cheering pretty loudly so i started moving up about 500 to go. last 400 built a pretty strong kick and barely outkicked a girl at the end cause i wasnt gonna lose a finals spot to one person smh. so didn't even know my time or anything but man did i love racing again, even tho i proceeded to collapse and felt like throwing up cause i haven't done speed like that in awhile. but then i found out i got a pr! and finals! and my good pal guppy is going too (: got on a cd and was fine til the last little bit and my calves ached very much but hopefully they know they need to get better cause they gotta race again. man if you're still reading this shoutout to you cause i'm writing this at 2am so idk if it even sounds sane.

some easy recovery miles then 3x100m strides to get the legs moving. got back and biked 20min but didn't do the wo cause my legs were pretty tired and i want to keep them fresh for tomorrow. did abs&hips and ice bath.

wu then did strides, legs felt pretty tired. i felt the first lap was too slow but didn't do much to change my pace. felt like i raced basically the same as thursday but my legs were a lot more tired and i didn't have the same kick. still had fun tho, and even tho i'm not super happy about the time, i gave a good effort and im still getting back into training so i can't be too disappointed. as you can see my cd was a lot longer than it should've been but i really needed to just run some more and i was with mario who had 2.5 left so i ran it all. my legs kinda hurt after but assuming they're ok, i might try 4 (consecutive) on monday (:
