US Short distance Champs - Part II.

4.4km relatively flat course, but much rougher running than this morning. Again, ran hard and pretty well in most places, but had a 90sec mistake at #3, a 30sec mistake at #9, and was sloppy towards the end. All in all, a good couple of short races for me.

Warm-up and cool-down from workout.

5 by 2 min on, 2 min off. Didn't go hard, except for 4 min. Just trying to get the legs moving again. Still not feeling quite there yet (i.e. still feel like garbage).

Easy 3mi run with MH. Trying to get the legs back from the weekend...still feel like garbage...

Day-2, SVO-"a" meet. Intensity ranged from 5 to 1, mostly 1. Technically I "ran" pretty well, although I did alot more walking than running! The distance and hills killed me - it'll be good to get the miles up again in training. Great map, great course, and all in all a good weekend (except I felt like a bag of garbage).

Warm-up from race.
