2017 Spring/Summer Workouts, Week Seventeen, Day 6, a day of racing

This morning, I woke up at 3:50 AM to watch the Shanghai DL meet LIVE. I followed it for two hours, then, passed back out. The elite season is realy just beginning, and the high school and college season is getting to its zenith (PAC-12 this weekend, and high school state meets are starting).
