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.
