Ah this was an awesome race. I went into it a lot more positive then Tuesday and I wasn't quite as nervous so I started out with a lot more confidence too. The race was a really good course, super flat with a lot of grass and concrete but the grass was really well mowed. I didn't start out very well but slowly moved my way up til I caught this cedar girl and then I just stuck with her for the rest of the race. During the race I would start to feel negative and my body would hurt but just like Roberts said I would just tell my body to shut up and I was able to pick it up again. I found good places to surge this time and I actually listened to my coaches when they would tell me to do something. At the very end I was about 100 meters away from the finish line and I started to sprint but I wasn't catching anybody. I thought that was all I could give but I saw this girl in front of me and thought "I can catch her" and my legs sped up and I beat her. I know this race was a lot easier so that's a big reason why I got a lot faster time in this race and I think it was a little shorter then 3 miles, but I did feel a lot better about this race than cedars. A lot stronger and more confident so even though it's not an accurate PR I still feel really good about how I did this race performance wise |
