Fun race at the Nike Southwest Regionals today! The course was awesome. Way muddy and we crossed this little stream from all the rain yesterday a few times. I didn't run the best that I could have though. But I learned some stuff that will help me in a couple of weeks at Footlocker. I need to just get out to the front and run my guts out. Today I got off the line really good but didn't accelerate enough and got caught up so I basically wasted a good jump off the line. I need to take it out fast like I did today but not settle into my pace so early. I think that will help at Footlocker so I can stay up in the front pack.

Maybe mentally you need to be in the front pack, but that's only if you don't have faith in your running ability. The reality is, high school kids start out too fast, and waste so much in the first mile. If you have the mental capacity to bide your time, you can pass people in the 2nd and 3rd mile and more than make up for not being in the front pack at the beginning. It takes confidence in your abilities, but if you're feeling like you're holding back in the first mile, you can translate that into harder effort later on and I guarantee you'll do much better than if you try to be in the front pack and slow down later. Peace
