AM Back out on the track for the 3000M steeple. It was fun, but not as fun as winning. It is a killer race with the water barriers, and by the way nothing like a hurdle race. It was great to talk with Ryan before the race. I didn't realize he had gone to school @ PV. The first jump over the water I was going to step on the barrier with my right leg then reach out with my left and continue running. It was a long way down and out! I hit and it felt like the top of my pelvis on the left side jarred my shoulder blade! Maybe not that bad, but HELLO! So, I get around to the finish line barrier on the same lap and the guy in front of me catches it with his toe. It flips him all the way over the barrier, but not before he whackes both shins on top. He lands on his butt, and then I go pass him. It discouraged me from working on hurdling form at all. The guy did finish right after me but I bet he felt that for the rest of the day. Anyway, Ryan whipped us all, but I still had fun. PM We got home around 4:00 PM and I went out on my road bike to loosen up a little. I was feeling really good, so I went out to bloomington and then santa clara, and then up river road. I hit a curb hard and got a flat, so I called Laur and she took me to the bike store to buy some new tires and tubes for fathers day. I finished the ride down diag to 100 South to river road and home. |
