AM: We went up to foothill and turned and followed it to the cemetery, where we did 3 laps of fireman. I fell off of the front group right before foothill, so when I felt ready I tried to catch up to them using the downhill. I told myself I could and so I did. We found the gates were locked, yet Bill had us squeeze through the fence. I was able to do the fireman for 1 1/2 laps, then came the hill and mentally I lost it...I then had a hard time trying to catch them again. I had slowed down too much for too long. So really I only did about 1 1/2 laps of fireman and the rest was chasing them down. Then from there it was just back to the track. PM: mile warmup mile speed changes. Then we did another lap and started the speed. We did a timed mile where I was supposed to hit like 5:55-6 or something. Around there. So I tried to keep up with Abigail because she was pretty close to what I was hitting, just a little faster. I was doing good the first 2 laps, and then started to slip a bit. The last lap is where I messed up a lot. I think I was just in the mindset of cross country races where they're 3 miles long, not only 1. I knew it was the last lap but it didn't really register until I was done. I fell off of Abigail and I completely died. I hit a 6:17. That's my problem, once I fall off it's pretty much over. I need to just stick on. Ug. Anyway, we did 2 laps recovery, and then we did an 800. I can't remember what I hit. Then another 2 laps I think, and then did 400s with a lap in between each one. I was supposed to hit these at 82. The first one I just tried to hang on with Abigail. Then on the 2nd one Bill said to switch off leading, so I had to lead this one. I hit an 81 I think. I have a hard time remembering these things... especially when it's the day after. Sorry. Anyway, third was like 82-83ish and last 86 because I gave up, which I should NOT have done. Then we did 2 grass laps of cool down. |
