Warmed up a bit more than a mile before the 3200. Then the weather sucked and we had a 30 minute lightning delay. When we went out side, we had 5 minutes to rewarm up before our race. Then the 3200. I didn't do very good. It was my worst 3200 of the year. I started way fast and I didn't do very well fighting the mental battle of the race either. After the race I cooked down with El.
Then later I rewarmed up of the 800. I was one spot out of being in the fast heat, and honestly I didn't mind much. Me and Caroline were one and two going into the race and I was way excited. I started really well and I was NOT going to get last. The first 200 was a good start. I kept it pretty solid until the 300 and then I decided to serge on the straight. Then I felt great and I just kept going I pushed all the way and even kicked. I felt so good. I ended up 1st in the heat and one second off my Pr and that was right after the 3200. It was definitely a great confidence booster that I can run fast and it feels awesome to run.
