I trained pretty good the first half of the year, culminating in some great races at the USATF Western Regional Masters Meet. The competition in my age group locally has really gotten poor – I won my age group in 12 of 17 races, and never finished worse than 2nd. I had 6 overall wins as well, but 3 of the 4 track wins were in very small races.
