AM- Half a mile warmup. We went on a 5 miler to the double churches and back. I felt pretty good the way there, but got pretty tired by the end of the run. My legs were hurting enough to bug me, but nothing too serious. Afterwards we did 4x200 m accelerations and I felt really good on those. I'm trying to get myself pumped for the race and I'm definitely going to try my hardest today.
Race- I warmed up a good 1.5 miles and I felt like that was an appropriate amount of warmup and then we started the race. My first mile was 6:11 and I caught with Jake Taylor by the time we got to the track on the first lap and we were passing guys left and right and I'm glad he was there to help push me. We were still close together on the second lap and not much changed there but I started slowing down. The last lap was awful and I got passed by maybe 10 guys on that last lap. Overall a pretty good race and it is a PR. I pushed hard and I did my best. Good race. |
