Tomorrow is the team's first meet of the year. I'll have two 4x800m relays, one 4x400m relay, and a slew of guys in the 800m (several runners are sick so no entries in the mile this week).
The 3200m relays are, hopefully, pretty even and should provide an exciting anchor showdown.
So far we've done very little race specific work, meaning work at race pace -+10%. The two big days we've had so far are a 400m time trial and a 1000m time trial. Several of the guys were under 70 for the 400m and under 3:20 for the 1000m. Tomorrow will be a day to see how they're progressing. You never know how they might respond to an actual race. As Mark Wetmore says, "Lots of guys look good on a Tuesday. It's who can look good on a Saturday or Sunday."
Today they ran between 15-25 minutes with 1-3 laps of ins and outs (from now on the normal warm up of 1200m plus drills is done everyday unless otherwise mentioned). The guys running the relays also worked on hand offs. Please no dropped batons.
