I didn't know what to expect coming into this race. I was hoping for anything around 5:10 or under. I started out warming up on the inside of the ice oval for about a mile and three quarters. Then we went over and got or heat assignments. I could have been in a faster heat now that I look at it, but I didn't think I was in good enough shape to run sub 5. So I was in heat six. Because of that I had to sit around for 30 minutes before the race.

I did a couple sprints and lined up. The gun went off and I was in terrible position, about third to last until we came around that first corner. On the straightaway I moved up into about third place and passed the timer in 48 seconds, which was about what I wanted to see. On the second lap I moved up into second and we passed through in 2:06. During the third lap I moved into first on the back straightaway. We passed through at 3:39. Once I saw this I realized I might be able to break five and I took off. I kept the lead the rest of the way and finished in 4:59, winning by three seconds. New PR!!!!!!

Afterwards I did a half mile cooldown until they kicked me off the inside of the ice oval.
