AM: Today was the Pre-Footlocker race. I did 1.25 miles warmup including strides. I got out too fast. I guess I was just in the mode for speed. I was in 2nd, then I crashed. Let's just say it didn't feel great. There was a lot of people who passed me that 2nd mile, and also the third mile, but not quite as many as the 2nd. It was so cold, and trying to make a move just seemed 10 times harder. It was probably just my mind getting to me. I threw in a couple speed changes whenever I felt good, but I had a hard time keeping that speed. I need to work on that. I did better than I thought. With all those people passing me, I guess I just assumed I was going slow. This course was over measured. I looked at my watch afterward, and the 3 mile mark was 20:52. It's still not as fast as settlement canyon, but it's better than pretty much all of my races in XC this season. Then I did .5 cool down. I probably should've done more. I don't remember what place I was, but I'm pretty sure it was around 48th. PM: I ran 2.75 miles
