Nothing Better

Haven't written a post in a while, but I feel like it today.
First of all HSPA's are over :( they were fun. Second, Steve and I were wearing our nearly identical shirts today :) Third, I am so confused in Calc that I have no idea whether I get something or not

So in AinA today, after warming up for the entire time, I did 6 pullups and changed. But Cogs was testing some verticals, so I decided to do mine too. 29.5". half an inch away from a free t-shirt. Im gonna get it.

Hill sprint day. I knew it was coming, so I made sure to drink a lot, since I have a history of getting extremely dizzy and headaches and nausea after hill sprints. Here's how it happened:

3 Long- almost bottom of hill to top speed bump, where the hockey truck parks.
After 1 of these, I felt pretty okay. After 2 I didn't know how I would be able to finish. After 3 I did not want to walk back down.
4 Short- same start to turn in road
After the deadly longs, I took these pretty easily. Somehow I just found some energy and really ripped it up. Ran extra hard on the last one as part of a deal to cut one out of the regiment.
3 Mini- same spot to first speed bump, about 2/3 short
Since I knew we were almost done, I put everything I had into these, which, surprisingly, was a lot. I didn't feel muscle tiring, and even my lungs/cramps were not too bad.

Lets just make some comments on other people's performances:
Seniors- did an awesome job, didn't really complain, just knew we had to do this
Jayson, John, Alan, Jay- worked hard, even though it was tough
Srinjoy, Sean- I admire their perseverance. Srinjoy has a worse history than me with hill sprints, and still finished them all in relatively good standing. Nice job.
Fran- BEAST. What else can I say? She looked like she was having fun. I don't know how she does it.
Em, Erica, Amanda- definitely showed why our girls team is good. Worked hard every single run.

So this was a really tough workout day. Now I wonder how much it well help us physically. I actually believe it will be of more use to show how we can still run, no matter how exhausted we feel. You can always draw on that little bit of energy left deep down.

Work Hard, Watchung.
