First 3000m ever today! I was feeling kinda crappy before, but it went really well. Warmed up about a mile outside, then another mile and a half (or so) indoors with Vanessa and Kim.

Started off the race with Kim and stuck right behind her for the first while. With 4 or 5 laps to go, I was still feeling good and she was slowing a bit, so I passed her up and tried to pick it up a bit for the last few laps. The middle laps were a bit slow I think, but now I have a lot of room for improvement! I like this race (even though it is 15 laps, ugh) and am not so sad about indoor track now... still a little though. Good race, got 3rd overall and 1st from Utah State. And a PR... but that's assumed with the first time thing. (DS 33.8) (M spike 27.5)

Nice job Ruth. Now that you have set the benchmark, you are all set to kill it next time...

Nice job. Indoor track is tough. I couldn't imagine doing it at altitude.
