I think I'll make a big thread with reports from my meets so I can easily look back throughout the year.<br><br>

Neilsville <b>120m</b> indoor meet-absolute ridiculous turns, my feet slipped off the platforms of my T5s on the corners...wish I would've worn track flats instead.<br><br>
First up, 1600m, 13 1/2 laps of hell. Some kid went out crazy the first like 4 laps and I finally decided I'd go sit on his shoulder. Well after about 20m of that he was already dying. I decided to just take the lead and do my thing. I'm really glad the officials counted laps for me since I lost count in my head after like 10. My forearms were burning like crazy, I am definitely not used to swining my arms that fast for that long, but hey it's the first race. No clue on splits and I'm glad I didn't know them since my computation skills were serverly hindered by the strange distance. I just kept pushing on, and I guess one kid was a few seconds back once I finished, but ever since I passed the rabbiter, I lead the whole way.<br><br>
5:10, 7 seconds faster than on the same track last year and 6 seconds off my incredibly weak 1600m PR.<br><br><br>
Next up, about 30 minutes later was the 800m, 6 3/4 laps. I took the lead from the gun and kept it the whole way. The kid who took 2nd in the 1600m was sort of close the whole time, but I think I still beat him by a good 2 or 3 seconds. Felt really strong and just solid, no spectacular kick or anything, but I did have enough to pick it up for the last lap. I can't wait to see how fast I can run one outdoor.<br><br>
2:19, I think 8 seconds faster than same place last year, and 7 seconds off my fastest 800m, but that was a 4x8 split, so actually 6 seconds off my best open 8.<br><br>
I am excited to see what I can do once I get on an outdoor track, because they corners took a lot out of me. It's good to see how much I've improved since last year, but sub 4:30 and sub-2 are still way the hell out there. I'll do my best to shorten that gap as much as possible! <img alt="icon_salut.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/icon_salut.gif">
