After a month of blizzard-induced (and yes, laziness-induced) silence, I've made a vow to start posting after workouts just like I did last year. Without further ado...
I did my first time trial today...finally. With the help of my friend Alisha (and later George), I obtained some guest passes to the indoor Georgetown facility, Yates Field House, which is complete with the nicest indoor track in the city. It's 200m and also has a nice 80+m straightaway, which is rare for indoor tracks. After consulting with a savvy track guy there running the masters circuit of the same meets I compete in, I lined up and had my new friend time me. His watch didn't have as accurate time as my stop watch, but he timed me at 39 seconds. He also explained that I'd have been up to .75 seconds faster had I run outside (and unimpeded...I had to slow slightly once), since you have to do nearly 3 full turns to do a 300m on an indoor track, while you only run a single wider turn outside. Regardless, not a bad start to the season, especially considering how the blizzard affected my schedule.
Excited I'm back into it! Looking forward to tracking my progress against last year.
