2 miles

I did 2 miles of warmup including strides and such. I raced the 400 and the 800 in the medley. First was the 400, I was in the 2nd heat. I felt like I went slower than what I did at the Alpha meet, but it was actually faster. I think it was because I knew what the 400 actually felt like in this one and expected it to hurt. I, for some reason, didn't really even feel ready to race. I don't know why. I like being spread out in lanes, then I don't get elbowed and cut off right at the start like in the longer races. :) with 100 to go I could've gone a little harder, I regret not doing so now, and I just let Emmaline go. I shouldn't have, I should've fought. I need to get better at that, it can't happen at region. Oh well, congrats to Emmaline for winning!
Then I ran about .75 including strides. In the medley my team had a good lead. I went out hard in the first lap, I wanted to get 2:30 or under. My first lap was 72, then the 2nd I slowed down and finished with about 2:34. I'm alright with it, I am tired from yesterday and monday, so I think I can go faster than that. In order for our medley team to qualify for state, we need to go 10 seconds faster. I think we could do it, everyone will have to work hard, but we can do it :)
Then I went with the boys and did a fartlek right after eating a ton of cookies. Yay. I actually felt alright :) I kept up with them for the first few, then I fell off but still worked. 3.5 miles there. |
