AM- 3 miles easy to AC.
PM- RACE! You know I was nervous for this race before hand, but I calmed myself and said...why do you like racing? And, of course I used the competitive side, I like beating people! And I said...why get stressed over the people I don't beat...when I can celebrate beating more people! That doesn't really explain it well...you'd just have to be me to understand. But I really didn't stress near as much about beating so and so...but deep down I wanted to beat them so it was a good combo! I started out a decent pace...maybe a little slower than I should've, which is one little thing I need to improve, but I didn't get out bad...I got out well! I then fell off the leading group through 1/2 mile to 1 and 1/2 and they gapped me, but I think if I just stick it to the main group from the start I could defintitely stick it with them. The key for this race was I pushed it when I started to feel a little tired. I still wasn't all out, but I actually felt a little fatigue (which I haven't felt in a race yet). I really shouldve passed brigham and moved for the next group, but I hesitated and doubted just a little bit. This was a huge step for me mentally and really feels like I can break through at region and race my hardest and my best! The crazy thing is everyone was telling me how great I did...and I didn't even realize I did that good until I heard my time! Need to work on my last mile, but really I thought it was one of my best races! |
