"Train insane or remain the same."

Low distance with 1.5mile speed changes on the turf. Shoutout to me for getting a whopping $8 worth of gas today I really gotta go to the bank...

Pre meet, a couple minutes of abs then a chilly ice bath with Gan in the creek by the spring. Thankfully we didn't get swept away by the current but there were a few close calls lol. Tasty team dinner thanks to the team moms as always. Shout out to the captains for their inspiring words. Ready to kill it at region.

Got to the meet and played some cards. Warmed up then headed to the check in area. Got on the line, me and Mario were in the same heat. Went off and I got a really good start right up near the front. Felt good but about 200m in my legs started to get real heavy and they were like that for pretty much the whole race. Pushed really hard to keep up with the leaders but I still fell off, threw in some surges but I'm not sure how much good that did. Last lap gave it all I had and had a good finish. It was definitely a solid race and I was really focused and into it the whole time so I'm happy. Also the weather was fantastic which is always a plus. Afterwards took a supercold ice bath and ate my weight in pasta. Kept the mileage extra super low to rest up my legs for the 3200 so we'll see how that goes.

Got to the meet and and hung around for a while. Warmed up, was feeling pretty good definitely a little tired from yesterday. Jamie got me and Kaylee bumped up to the faster heat, which was good but also nerve wracking. Started out good, it was me Gan Watson and Kaylee in a pack. Then Gan and Watson pulled ahead during I think the third lap. After that it was pretty much just me and Kaylee. We took turns kind of trying to push the pace which was good. Seventh lap Kaylee started to pull ahead. I tried to go with but was a few paces behind. Last lap I saw these two girls dying and decided I needed to try and outkick them, which I did so I'm pretty proud of my finish :) Overall a pretty solid race, I really enjoyed it even though it was pretty tough. Good way to finish out my last season, can't believe it's over. This season has definitely not been what I was hoping for, but some positives are that I haven't been injured for an entire year, I've still improved time wise and mentally, and it's been a blast! Shout out to everyone on the team who has made this a great year, love you guys!

Kept today nice and easy. 10 min of abs. Went to the ODP and practiced some skills and tested out the diving boards. Can't wait for summer

Warmed up a mile then helped Mario with her speed, she had 3×200, 100m jog, 100m all out but I just did the 200s. Hit 32/33s for all of them. Legs still feel wrecked. Shout out to Jamie because she can turn water into chocolate milk lol. And to Mama Hinkley cuz she made us a killer breakfast and to the weather cuz it's great :)
