On Wednesday we had our first hard workout of the year, a three mile tempo. It was warm, breezy and the course isn't the fastest however it gave me a good indication of who had been training this summer in earnest and who was fit. I decided to compare the tempo time to athletes best times of the year last year. I found that + 2:00 difference was high average and noted that anyone who did better than that were good to exceptional depending on the closeness to an even time. Here were the outstanding performances from yesterday compared to their personal best from last year:
Kristen T. + 1:54
Matthew K. + 1:47
Peter S. + 1:22
Patrick H. + 1:22
Allison C. + 1:20
Nick U. + 1:09
Sam H. + 1:00
Annie D. + :18
Michaela B. + :06
Timothy D. - :03
Paul M. - :13
So in the list above, the further down the list you go the better the comparative performance. Also there were some outstanding brand new runners who ran great, on the guys side Tate J. and Dustin M. and on the girls side Melissa B., and Alison K.
Keep working and doing a great job everybody, we have a long way to go but yesterday was the first day towards meeting our goals.
