Well my hamstring pretty much kept me off the track but weights went pretty well today. It's funny, I can't sprint at all, can't jump at all but I can squat to max effort. I tried to do some light strides to get a feel for where my hamstring is at, they felt "risky" and hurt a little so I let them be. Pretty much all I did on the track was 2x3@40m and a light plyo circuit. At the end of each 40m sprint I tried to end with both arms forward to mimic the end of my runway. I have a physio appointment tomorrow so I'm hoping they will be able to give me a fairly accurate assessment. I know what I think the problem is so if they tell me the same thing there is a very good chance that really is the problem.
I wasn't feeling great at the beginning of practice, my legs felt flat but I think it was just because of the nervous energy I have been harboring. As soon as I actually started squatting I felt good. On my fourth set I reached a new season best and on my last set I reached a pb, 5x335lb's. I am pretty happy with that because I went with a neutral stance and used boxes to check my depth--perfectly to 90 degrees! My old pb of 330lb's had a wide stance and questionable depth.
Here's a picture:
