CALTAF

Sorry, it's been a bit since my last post.  I'm in Calgary, AB soaking in the altitude once again at 3500ft.  Just to clarify, Toronto is a mere 347ft above sea level so 3500ft is a big adjustment.

I raced last night at the CALTAF classic.  A 400m.  With Calgary's great weather, the day was filled with sunshine and thunderstorms; changing every 5-10min.  So my shoes were soaked and you needed sunglasses to race.   I finished 2nd in the race.   48.44.  Not a PB but I`m happy.  I got out hard my first 200 which was a new thing for me (I have a tendency to wait a bit) and rigged up hard my last 50m to the point where I thought I was going to fall on my face.  Each step my knees got lower and lower to where I felt like I was shuffle stepping.   I was just hoping a wouldn`t clip the track with my spikes and go face first down (which I have done before).  

Oh man my lungs burned after the race.  It was my first above sea level performance.  It`s leaving me fully confident in my performance for Nationals and hungry for more.  I`m jacked to race at Nationals.
