Today was the Davis Invitational. I went down later because I was racing later in the Invited section. I warmed up with Tomy, Chris, and Bill, then did drills in the school, and then a few strides before the race. They put us on the track a few minutes before the race actually started, leaving me enough time to stress out about all the fast people in my race. The first mile was good, I felt pretty good and it didn't seem like that fast of a pace. I came through at 5:33, then I started thinking way too much about it and it started to go downhill. I didn't think I could come back, I just basically gave up. Even when I heard Bill yelling what I needed to hit to qualify, I thought it was gonna be too hard to hit, so I didn't try as hard as I should have. I am mad about my race, if I could I would do it again. I shouldn't have fallen off of the girls in front, it was a ton harder once I did. My mom told me I shouldn't be so hard on myself, but it's hard not to be. But I did look at results and on the bright side, if I would've been in the other section I would've been third! But that doesn't matter, I still should've done better. Now I just have to focus on region because I don't think I made it into the 3200 for BYU.
