AM-This morning I went on a shake out run before our race this afternoon. I ran about 2 and a half miles and threw in a few strides as well. My legs felt good. Where I was running was really pretty and I was sad I couldn't go further. I'll have to run there again on Sunday so I can see more.
PM- This afternoon we ran at GRIAK. It was a very big race. I tried to get out hard but didn't and got boxed in really bad but then it was a false start so it was ok. They didn't call the false start till about a minute into the race but at least I would have a second chance to get out better. The second start I got out much better. After the start I settled into a pace and pretty much stayed there. I think I need to work more on hills and my kick. My first mile was a 6:10 and my total time was 20:44. I finished in 110th and was at about the place throughout the whole race. After the race I was disappointed with my race because I think I could have pushed harder, so when we got back to the hotel I went for a run to calm down. I ran about 2 miles the first one was probably faster than what I ran in the race. |
