Published by
Sea Ray Relays, GINA Relays, Jesse Owens Classic, Billy Hayes Invitational Mason Cathey Jesse Owens Classic - PR 800, 1500 #2 All-Time PB 4:27.27 4th Splits: 16.9-18.4 (35.3) 18.7-18.4 (37.1) [72.4] 17.6-17.8 (35.4) 17.5-17.5 (35.0) [70.4] [2:22.8] 17.6-17.5 (35.1) 17.2-17.6 (34.8) [69.9] [3:32.7] 18.0-17.9-17.5 (53.4) [4:27.1] NOTES: With "sit & kick" pre-race plans, execution was very good tactically then "no kick today" reality. Likely training phase related. Not a concern in the bigger picture. 2:10.89 10th Splits: 13.9-15.0 (28.9) 15.5-16.2 (31.7) [60.6] 16.7-16.7 (33.4) [1:34.0] 17.7-18.9 (36.6) [2:10.6] NOTES: rabbited the race, lead the field to 600 then finished in a PR. Good come back the day after a "flat" 1500. Someone might have a big 800 PR waiting later in the season. GINA Relays - PR 3000S, Meet & Stadium Record 10:17.24 1st Splits: (ref inside pit) 22.7(+)-19.2-18.6-18.3(2b) (78.8) 18.5-18.4-19.4-18.6(2b) (74.9) [2:33.7] 19.4-19.0-19.3-19.2 (2b) (76.9) [3:50.6] 19.3-19.7-20.2-20.5 (2b) (79.7) [5:10.3] 20.8-21.6-22.1-21.4 (2b) (85.9) [6:36.2] 21.7-22.4-21.8-21.4 (2b) (87.5) [8:03.7] 22.2-23.1-21.9-21.5 (2b) (88.7) [9:32.4] 23.6-21.2 (44.8) [10:17.2] NOTES: no race setting re competition so over ran steeple fitness without early awareness... bombed last water barrier. Very good barrier work generally thus race management the key to a USA National qualifying mark in 2009. Sea Ray Relays - PR 1500 4:23.50 2nd Splits: 34.5 - 35.5 (70.0) 36.1 - 35.6 (71.7) [2:21.7] 36.0 - 17.3 - 16.8 (70.1) [3:31.8] 16.3 - 18.2 - 17.1 (51.6) [4:23.4] NOTES: lost a little time reading Hazel Clark's resume during the race... a lesson for the future. Went in seeded 15th. Good competitive effort. Adrian Myers Jesse Owens Classic - 1500 #2 All-Time PB & Invitational Mile rabbit (1000) 3:53.15 12th Splits: 14.1-15.1 (29.2) 14.5-16.0 (30.5) [59.7] 15.6-15.7 (31.3) 15.1-15.6 (30.7) [62.0] [2:01.7] 16.0-15.9 (31.9) 15.6-15.6 (31.2) [63.1] [3:04.8] 15.7-15.8-16.7 (48.2) [3:53.0] NOTES: hesitating to explore the third 400 then think the final 300... academics ahead of actions with this race distance but it will come. 1000 NA Splits: 1.7 (Mile start) 13.7-14.2 (27.9) 14.3-14.7 (29.0) [56.9] 14.6-14.6 (29.2) 14.7-15.2 (29.9) [59.1] [1:56.0] 15.1-15.5 (30.6) [2:26.6] NOTES: very good double back and definite indicator of future fast 1500 with "academics" needing to catch up with fitness potential. No worries as it will come while 800m focused training continues. GINA Relays - 800 1:52.72 6th Splits: 13.1-13.5 (26.6) 14.9-13.9 (28.8) [55.4] 14.4-13.6 (28.0) [1:23.4] 14.6-14.5 (29.1) [57.1] [1:52.5] NOTES: Wind was in play but not such as to excuse tactical errors laying off the pace especially when early season advantage is strength and weakness is no speed work in training yet. Lesson learned hopefully. Sea Ray Relays - DMR 1600 leg 4:12.2(1600 leg) 7th Splits: 29.8-31.5 (61.1) 47.9-16.1 (64.0) [2:05.1] 16.3-15.5-17.4-16.1 (65.3) [3:10.4] 15.8-15.0-15.8-15.2 (61.8) [4:12.2] NOTES: cautious and conservative due to lack of experience at distance... competed fairly well last 400m... relay rust Austin Wechter Billy Hayes Invitational - 400H #3 All-Time PB 52.38 3rd Splits: 6.25-4.09-4.33-4.37-4.20 (23.24) 4.67-4.48-4.65-4.80-4.94-5.40 NOTES: Excellent job managing big weather delay. Technically left time at the startline... with a month of "speed" planned we'll add in preparation for using starting blocks for the first time this year also! Jesse Owens Classic - PR 400 48.01 8th Splits: 11.3-11.1 (22.4) 12.5-12.9 (25.4) NOTES: Standing start & recoverying from nasty cold... good solid outing Demonstrating base is ready for a month of speed and new PRs at 400H & 400. GINA Relays - sick Mark - NA Place - NA Splits: NA NOTES: lined up because it was early season and "you never know" Sea Ray Relays - 400H Best Season Opener All-Time & DMR 400 leg 52.75 3rd Splits: 6.29-4.16-4.46-4.35-4.57 (23.83) 4.50-4.57-4.61-4.82-4.75-5.45 NOTES: Went in seeded 21st. Very good competitive effort. Handled big storm delay very well. 48.4 (400 leg) 7th Splits: 11.8-11.0 (22.8) 12.8-12.8 (25.6) [48.4] NOTES:"OK" double back from 400H... relay rust Juan Carrillo Billy Hayes Invitational - PR 1500 3:52.73 11th Splits: 14.0-29.7-15.0 (58.7) 15.3-30.9-15.4 (61.6) [2:00.3] 15.4-31.5-16.2 (63.1) [3:03.4] 15.9-33.2 (49.1) [3:52.5] NOTES: Coach & athlete let meet management's catch-up clerking catch them off guard thus Juan was rushed in warm-up and never felt comfortable. Lesson learned: better in this setting to be warming up a little too early than too late! On a "bad day" this result bodes well for a fast 1500 in the future. Jesse Owens Classic - 800 Best Season Opener All-Time 1:52.21 13th Splits: 13.1-13.4 (26.5) 13.3-13.7 (27.0) [53.5] 14.0-14.2 (28.2)[1:21.7] 14.8-15.5 (30.2) [58.5] [1:52.0] NOTES: race execution was right on through 600. Race fitness will be ready for PR's in early June based on this test outing. Good training patience in play since arriving in INDY in March for a late start on 2009 season. GINA Relays - 1500 rabbit (1100) 2:45.6 NA Splits: 13.2-15.2-15.4-15.5 (59.3) 14.9-15.5-14.8-15.2 (60.4) [1:59.7] 15.3-15.3.15.3 (45.9) [2:45.6] NOTES: relatively relaxed and comfortable... indicates a future in the 1500 below 3:50 at a minimum. very good job rabbiting the race. Christopher Hendrix-Buxton GINA Relays - 800 1:54.77 13th Splits: 13.3-13.4 (26.7) 14.8-14.2 (29.0) [55.7] 15.0-13.9 (28.9) [1:24.6] 15.0-14.9 (29.9) [58.8] [1:54.5] NOTES: Too conservative from 4 to 5 and allowed traffic issues then burned to hot for 45 meters making up error. Hopefully a lesson learned. Sea Ray Relays - DMR 1200 leg 3:08.1 (1200 leg) 7th Splits: [2:04.5] 15.7-15.1-16.5-16.3 (63.6) [3:08.1] NOTES: hesitated tactically from 400 to 800... relay rust Ricardo Bell Jesse Owens Classic - 800 rabbit (500) 1:05.3 NA Splits: 12.4-12.6 (25.0) 13.0-13.4 (26.4) [51.4] 13.9 [1:05.3] NOTES: Welcome back Ricky! Nice smooth 500m effort in rabbiting this race. Goal #1 for this comeback season is already in-hand (fit enough to start a full training cycle for 2010 season) so everything else is a bonus. Up next a slow section 800m or fast 600 rabbiting on May 30th. Jacob Koczman Sea Ray Relays - DMR 800 leg 1:51.9 7th Splits: 25.2-14.6-14.1 (53.9) 14.5-14.1-14.9-14.5 (58.0) [1:51.9] NOTES: quick first 200 likely hurt the 400 to 700 segment... relay rust.
COACH’S TEAM NOTES: American High Performance Series kicks off May 30. Show Time... Who wants to go to Eugene?! Billy Hayes Invitational - Experience with previous meet delays pays off for Austin as he managed a big delay very well and posted his fastest time in two years and was just hundredths of a second off of his three year old PR. A month of speed work and Austin has an opportunity for his first USA National Qualifier. Juan took a second step forward toward understanding the 1500 with a modest PR on a "bad day". Jesse Owens Classic - Good Team Camp location and dynamics over the course of two day meet. Very good experiences with rabbiting by Mason, Ricky & Adrian. GINA Relays - Good individual outings by Mason & Juan. Team Camp area could have been better re distractions being in the crowd. Second week in a row provided a great experience in learning to manage the unexpected as the meet was visited with a storm delay. Sea Ray Relays - good individual efforts by Austin & Mason. Good team spirit and attitude with the group. DMR guys had a good attitude though a lot of rust re relay racing BUT that is the reason we were there running a relay... next year on the men's side of the roster we will be looking for a sub-9:40 which would result in a respectable new club record for the event.
