Race #1

Hey everyone, so last Sunday, the Sunday of Memorial Day weekend, I went out to the track with Laura and ran my first race. With much thanks to my glorious camerawoman, here it is:

The 400 Project - All-Comers Race - 400m - 5/30/2010 from The 400 Project on Vimeo.

I ran a 51, which, while not being as fast as my goal time, was a personal record by a full second. So that is at least a silver lining.

Funnily enough, exactly a week later, just this past Sunday, I ran another 400m race as part of a tryout for the Truck and ran a 51.5, a few tenths faster than the time from the week prior. This was an encouraging time since it was at the beginning of a long practice. I'm confident my next race will be another improvement. Excited to get out there!
