About 3 miles warmup. Not a good race, first mile was fine (about a 5:30) I made moves up (got a bad start) then thought I was fine after the mile and relaxed too much, then fell off the pack I had moved up to and my mentality was not where it needed to be. Then I gave up and just ran it. Decided I wanted to try to kick with 200, but after 50 meters of that quit on myself again. I think part of the problem was that I had literally no plan other than get the first mile under 5:35. Really mad about it because I know I can break 11:10 if I just go out and race the entire race like I did at Arcadia. I guess it's good that I still have state as an opportunity to get myself there.
Did a 6.5 mile cool down with an ice bath in the river. It was coooold.
Another 1.5 shakeout followed by another ice bath in an even colder spot of the river. My 1600 is gonna be hecka fast tomorrow, I'm in the Golden Hour and it's gonna pull me along to a really fast time. I'm also super pumped because hey it's Golden Hour. And I know what I'm gonna do! I got a plan :) Our medley team also made it into the Golden Hour so I'll be running the 800 in that too!
