Running and Wetsuits

Team Track Workout
Tonight we did some drills... running up and down the stairs on the bleachers and doing our ultra fun run drills on the football field. Then we did some speed work. I got a side cramp while running the first 400 so I missed the next one in the set. Here's how it went...

200 (0:50.1)
200 (0:56.3)
400 (not completed)
400 (not completed)
400 (2:08)
400 (2:08)
400 (2:13)
400 (2:07)
200 (0:55.7)
200 (0:53.7)

Then we did our normal set of post-workout stretching. My legs were quite stiff after the running tonite and I think I may be coming down with some sort of chest cold. Not a good time since we're going to Lake San Antonio this weekend for a practice run of the course.

So, since I wasn't at practice on Saturday, I picked up my wetsuit from a friend. I tried it on when I got home and, of course, its a tad too long. I'm gonna find out if there's any way to shorten the legs and arms without having to return the darn thing. Cutting them off probably wouldn't be the best idea. We'll see. Anyway, me in a wetsuit... thats an interesting sight :) I can hardly put my arms down when I'm wearing it. It reminds me of the little boy in A Christmas Story. It'll be interesting to see the whole group of us waiting to go into the water, all of us in our penguin suits :) Ok, it is time for some packing and laundry.

Be sure to check back soon for details on the weekend (and maybe even a few pics of me in the wetsuit).
