I have been pretty low on confidence since region but today's workout totally pumped me up, it was just what I needed. The workout was hard enough to get me excited again, but not so hard I would be exhausted and sore. I started off with a 2 mile warmup and some drills at the BYU track.
The workout was 10*200m, 1*400m w\200m jog rest. For the first 9 200s Sean wanted me to keep it easy and run as if I were starting the first 200m of state. I averaged :32 (which was faster than I was supposed to do it in but it felt extremely easy). My last 200m he wanted me to go near all out speed about 90-95% and I ran 24.5 seconds. Immediately I kept on jogging (just 200m rest) and did a 400m (he wanted me to try to hit 65-66 seconds) when I started I thought I was going to slow so the last 200m I picked it up and finished in :59 seconds. Afterwards Sean talked to me and he said my 800m is going to be way fast this year, and he said with my speed he might even put me in the 400m, he thinks I can go sub 50 in the 400m. I am SO excited for track season! But I am trying to not think about track too much until XC season ends. I just want to make sure I am focused for state. I will not be racing footlocker or Nike like I originally planned. I will race my best at state take a two week break, and get ready for track season. I discussed my goals for track season with Sean and we decided it would be best for me to prepare early for track to ensure I accomplish my goals.
Super excited for state Wednesday! I have NO idea if it's possible but I will try my best to win...because it's my senior year so why not try! Anyways I look forward to racing some awesome competitors, it's going to be FAST this year!
