Today was my first day coaching at Johns Hopkins! What I tell you next is going to make you think that this is a perfect place for Coach Flatow…warm up started at 6:30 am, the first rep of the workout was launched at 7:15 am, heading off for warm-down before 8 am–all this in 37-degree weather. I love me my early-morning workouts! There were around 50 distance runners on the track, I had the 800m boys and girls as they blasted through the workout. My first impression…these athletes do not mess around, no matter what level they were, from NCAA championship hopefuls to simply hoping to shave a few seconds off a PR. They all kept moving, and they kept focused.
Then I went for a study session with a Monta Vista alumna!
Day One at Hop in the books.
Go Bluejays!
(One other first-day tip…watch out for Annie Huang in the 800 in conferences.)
