Apparently it's the new style to do a speed workout the day before a race. I was expecting just a long run or something easy. I didn't have that high of hopes. True, it was only a Tri-meet, and not one of the big ones. Whatever. I just hope it benefits me for saturday. So we did normal team warmup and then distance did the normal warmup and speed changes for a speed workout. Joy. Then we did 3 1200s with a lap recovery between (actually, 2 laps on one one of them) and 1 set of 6 200s with 1 minute standing recovery. On the 1200s, it was weird. I'm used to either doing 2 laps or 4 laps. but it was only 3 laps. huh. I just tried to stick with Abigail and Kiley and that group for as much as I could. I don't know my times, but I think I got slower on each one. :( Then for the 200s, I knew that it was short, so I really pushed. My fastest one was a 36. I normally got from like 36-38 on all but the last 2. My legs started shaking, and honestly it didn't feel normal, even though I know it is. I slowed down a bit and got like a 41. Then on the last one I got like a 42. I wish my legs would get better already. I want to be doing what everyone else is doing and be up with Abigail, but my legs won't permit it. I wish they would feel alright. Maybe I'm just being a wimp. :0 Then we did a cool down. We got to 10.
