Today was the finals for simplot. I did the 2 mile warmup, then had to hurry to the bull pen. I didn't get as much warmup as I would have liked, I usually do drills and stretching before races and I didn't get to today. My first lap was again too fast, 400 was a 75, then 800 was 2:38, 400 left I was exactly 4 minutes and then finished way slow with 5:32. At 800 I started to make my move but then with 600 left it went downhill. People started to pass me and I didn't match, I should have. I felt so dead though, I just mentally lost it. I know that if I would have focused I could have finished a lot faster, I wish I would have. My arms, oddly, were what hurt the most. My legs hurt too but not as much. I'll just take this as a learning experience and hopefully the next race I can break 5:20. I looked back to last year and i did exactly the same thing, I crashed the last two laps. I think I just lack the strength to finish, I hope this year I can change that. At least my indoor times have been slightly faster. I was hoping I could have PR'd by now, I know it's only indoor but I'd still like to be running faster times. I did about a mile cool down.
