I don't know what was up with this day. I ran the 1600 m in the second heat (I think?) out of three. My calves were still aching but they felt a lot better so I wasn't even too worried about my race. I think I should have been a lot more worried because I did 9 seconds worse than last time. I tend to run a lot harder if I am nervous anyways. So the first lap of the mile went by really fast, in about 1:18, and I got out in front and it felt really good, but I didn't hold it and I fell back a lot in the second lap. Nikki J even passed me once and I was ashamed because I knew I wasn't pushing it hard enough. So my second lap was crap, and my third and fourth laps weren't much better. I needed to focus more on my pacing and plan out the race before hand. There was also a bit of wind, especially on the last leg of the fourth lap. That might have brought up my time a bit, but overall I think I just wasn't into it mentally and I wasn't running it smart. I walked off the track disappointed and embarrassed, and I didn't do even close to my best. |
