11:30am- Today was a race. The desert hells invite. I ran the 800 meter run. Heres how it went. Me and matt and andrew and jason went and warmed up 1 mile. We just head north towards the elementary school. So we got back and I was feeling more nervous than usual. I ate another granola bar and had some more water. I went out to the field to put on my spikes, then ran around the field a little bit and did some warmups and stretching. Then Andrew raced in the first heat and did good and they called heat 2. I was on the inside. They fired the gun and we were off. Me and this kid were fighting for a spot going around the first turn and right there I usually would back off and give it too him. But I was sick of being able to be pushed around, so I gave him little elbow and got ahead. I was around tenth or so as we went around the second turn. I thought I had been going a good pace but i questioned that since I was so far back. But no, everyone was just going really fast. I came around at 1:03, 1:04. So I focused on the 3rd 200 really hard cause thats the most important part to be tough. I got to the last 200 and started to kick and passing people. But my brain just wasnt there, it wasnt my best finish. Maybe it was the heat or something, I have only raced with the sun down pretty much so far (in the 800). Oh well, there next time now I must focus at dixie. I want to PR by a second in all the rest of the races this year. Which would get me down to around a 2:05. |
