Ran 1:51 today in the 8. Went out way too slow (56 mid I think), got a boxed and a little tripped up, got boxed again, but closed well the last 100 (swung wide to lane 4-5 off the turn) and finished 3rd. I think I closed the best out of everyone and I felt like I made up a ton of ground on the leaders the last 60. Good speed work, but definitely a frustrating couple of days. I'm not assimilating the technique as quickly as I'd hoped, and boy did it show up in the races this week. The good news is that I didn't injure myself, I'm not sore (at all!), and I get the next couple of days to keep trying out the technique and training. I'll do an LR tomorrow, some hard core strides Monday, and a workout Tuesday. I'm going to really put the hammer down in the 3k next Saturday.
