I did about a mile warmup and then drills in the bull pen area. Then I spiked up and was placed in my heat.
I got in good position and the first few laps I was feeling great and on pace for 5:20ish. Then after the 800 I started to feel tired and it got harder, and I slowed down. I really need to work on the last half. I also didn't kick very well if at all. But I did much better than last year where I kind of dogged it and was satisfied with being there. I feel like this outdoor season is going to be a good one.
After watching a few races and cheering Bill on in his coaches mile, we did 6.5 miles of cool down I think it was. We went to the trail and then did a few laps in that cemetery and then went back. I was tired and had a harder time keeping up, but I managed. When we got back we did a lap around the building to add on.
I want to get my times down to 5:20ish and possibly under, so I'll have to start working harder, but I think I could do it if I really tried.
