was kind of worried in the morning because i hadn't been getting very much sleep the past 2 nights, but that morning i felt good. before the race i warmed up about 1/4 of a mile and did some streches then went to the front. Me, manu, and colten started in front at a very easy pace and no one came close to us so we knew it would be pretty easy. us three pushed at a solid pace and at about mile 1.5 manu fell off, so me and colton pushed more. we were only going tempo pace pretty much the whole time and when i realized i was only 100 meters away from the finish line i took off. i out sprinted colton barely but i wish that i was able to know a mile before so i could push harder. i should have got around a 17:30 so i was kind of sad. It seems that i am not improving at all......... i am really sore today mostly the top of my feet, which means i think that i was running on my toes right. |
