Track Workout

Met Matt, Scott and Chris at the Lehi track. A little chilly but no wind. 4 up, 3 down.

5K (5:20, 5:20, 5:16, :37) 

Felt good. Scott threw down another 2 fast miles. Good fun.

I was pretty disappointed with this race. I felt sluggish. I followed Steve and Matt through the first 2 hilly miles and then some fast downhill miles (3-6) that put me in early trouble. I let them go while heading down city creek. I passed Matt around mile 7, he was having a nasty GI day. I was at 5:15 avg through mile 9 but then the wheels really came off and I crawled in. Scott ran with me nearly the whole way, thanks Scott! He was hoping for a good workout but I think he was bored with how slow my last few miles were :(.

5 miles cool down with Steve, Ben and Scott on the bark chips around Liberty Park.

Fritz won the marathon in 2:28 on a hobby jogger's training load. He's a machine.
