Got to the oval around 8:10ish and just sat around for awhile. I tried not to think too much about my race so I wouldn't get too stressed about it. When I thought I had about 40 minutes until my race I went and warmed up a couple miles. The cooler weather actually felt pretty nice. When I got back they still hadn't even started the girls 800 yet so I still had about 30 minutes to go, so I just tried to stay loose but ended up running around a little bit trying to figure things out. Anyways, it was a pretty good race. There was a few things that I definitely could've done better, but in the end I can't really be mad with a 1 second PR in my season opener. Cooled down about 4.5 afterwards to get some extra mileage in. And in the spirit of these winter games get started up, I also went ice skating on the oval inside the track so that was pretty fun, and way harder than it looks on tv that's for sure.
