It's here. Well, it has been here, for a while now actually. Track preseason started the beginning of January and have been in full swing since. Mondays and Fridays we either condition or work on form. Yesterday we did blocks and starts. I did three starts from the 200m start, since i want to and will be running that event this year.
Next i did starts from the 100m start with a parachute. This was fun, expecially since the was going pretty good against me. As soon as i was out of the blocks, the parachute was in full 'I hate you and your not going anywhere' and at one point, the wind was blowing strong enought to push a full two lanes the the left. FUN. After 8 of those i did a full 100m dash without the parachute or anything and MAN it felt good. haven't run like that in a while, just you and the track. The cold wind blowing in the face, the pounding of your feet on the rubber. The smooth pendulum of your arms swinging at your sides. You get into a rythem. A beautiful and relaxing rythem of peace.
ANYWAYS after the 100m was my cooldown.
preseason is nice because the people who truly want to win show up. its a good almost private workout.
the events I'm planning to do this year are the 200m dash, long jump and triple jump. Id like to try high jump, javelin and maybe pole vault.
track officially starts February 22nd, our first meet being March 12th.
I'll keep you updated.
