Busting The Rust - First Race Of The 2026 Summer Season!

The summer season is officially opened. After a 16hr travel from Boulder to Germany I had 48 hours to acclimate and get my legs under me. I did a little shake out in the morning of the race and then drove from my hometown to Dresden where the meet "Goldenes Oval" took place. Classic 3mi warmup and 800m, 2x200m activation and then I lined up for the race. I followed the pace but got passed on the home straight and came second in a time of 2:17,17 for the 1000m. I wasn't buzzing with the outcome but also not disappointed. Just glad to get the season rolling after a lot of uncertainties considering my wrist injury and surgery just 7 weeks back. After the race I did a workout (8x1k progressing from 3:12 down to 2:39 and 4x100m strides) and then drove back home. produced by:   / fabian_catoni   my instagram: https://www.instagram.com/robertfarke...
