Saturday we hosted our track meet at Bremerton High, and two full days of prep meant no run in the lead up. I ran the coaches 4x100 again, despite my better judgement, and even though we got second in an eight-team field, I aggravated my left groin/flexor again. 

So Sunday Timm, Mike and I drove up to the Elwha River, which any scientist or nature lover really must do. Two dams, 99- and 85-years-old, have been removed in a massive, historic federal project. We gave it a look see and had a wonderful day. I would have liked a little more trail to run, but most of the approaches were very short. So today's 3 isn't even a 'real' 3, because it was broken up by some easy hiking around ancient lake beds and short drives to different viewpoints. But I shook the leg out a bit, and it felt ok.

Left leg not feeling so good today after running fast 200s with my Jaguar friends.

Warm-up, 7x200 at 31 seconds with jog between, then a cool down. My leg is killing me, that was unwise for a guy who's older and less fast-twitch than he thinks he is. See the sacrifice I make so a 13-year-old girl has someone to pace her?

Much too sore in the groin/abdomen. This is odd and a bit unnerving. Easy miles on Shore Drive, lots of stretching.

Bremerton Jaguars track meet in Bellevue, but I found a nearby gravel trail and warmed up with a few kids before the meet got going. Slow running, still a little tight and sore with some pain when I get started. 

Great track meet, for what it's worth. PRs all around, and no coaches relay.
