2018 Winter Iowa Senior Games (WISG)

Wanted to try the WISG. Never had run an indoor track race before. However, the 200 m track is pretty familiar because of the indoor track training I have done in the past. I was way behind everybody in the short distance sprints. But, I was able to place in the longer distances. All races are hard, but I believe the longer distances require some strategy. I was glad to grab three silver medals today. Not bad for a first timer, I guess.

 The question is what kind of running should I concentrate? short, medium, or long distance? I like medium distance. I remember I liked 800's when I was young. I guess my favorite long distance race is the half marathon.  I just feel like the marathon is way harder.
