Did a little over a mile warmup because when we got there it was really close to our race
The race honestly didn't even feel hard and it was such a breeze. The start of the race sucked, lost like 3 seconds at least because they blew a whistle instead of a gun and created lots of confusion, and I also got spiked BEFORE the race doing the cheer so that was fun (haha). I felt great! I had decided that I was going to try for even splits, I didn't want to go out too hard. First mile was around a 6:07. I was relaxed and didn't feel like I was working super hard. I decided just to keep even and not push super hard. at the 2 mile I still felt really good, which was a huge change from recent races. I lead for almost the whole race. In the last little bit Eleanor unfortunately outkicked me, but I was still happy with my time. I honestly still don't believe it, I haven't PR'd once this season. And there wasn't even much competition, I mean I'm sure other teams weren't actually racing it like we were, but even so it felt good to be up there. It gave me more confidence and now I'm excited to race again!
