Today was one of the best races of my life! I started out doing a 3.25 mile SLOW warmup to really loosen up my legs. I then did 5 strides at the race start line to really loosen them up not including all of the stretches I did in between. So the gun went off and I was ready. I started out the race at a good pace but I think that I could of started a bit faster and stayed with the guys up front. So my first mile time was 6:28 which was 2 seconds faster than I wanted it to be so it was perfect because this ment that I had a leeway with my other miles if I needed to use those last 2 seconds if I had to. My 2 mile time was 13:00 minutes flat, which was where I wanted it to be exactly but I used the 2 seconds I had spare. So I could see the finnish line but it was still 1 mile away so I decided to push it to get there faster, luckily I did otherwise I wouldnt of made my time. So I used the energy of the croud and whatever energy that I had left to push that last 800 meters to the finnish line. I wanted to be in the top 3 guys from East but I was fourth by .7th of a second. Made me Furious. But still it was one of the best races of my life. I stayed totally consistent on all 3 miles which is what I wanted to do anywase!.!.!.!.
