Today was kind of rough, but I'm still satisfied with how I did. We carpooled up to Brian head again and went on a different road this time, I liked the course cause it was mostly downhill. Warmup was still fast at 7:00, then went right into the 60%. Goal pace was 6:15-6:35. I went 6:19, 6:16, 6:45, 7:02, 7:18. So 6:44 average, bummed that I wasn't in the range. Idk it's like once I hit 2 miles of going fast I just hit a wall. Towards the end I got really bad cramps so that was miserable. Happened at camp too so I'm thinking it's just something to do with the elevation change. For cool down I ran out about .5 back on the road then turned back and ran to Ashley, she was to her mileage and couldn't run anymore so she was walking back. The cramps were so intense that I think I was forgetting to breathe, which wasn't much fun. I normally don't turn early, so I feel bad about it, but at least I kept Ashley company. Coach didn't really communicate where the finish was, I don't think he even knew that so when we got close to the road Josh and Ishti? had started running back to find us, I guess they got dropped off while coach drove to look over by where we finished, haha then Clinton pulled up in the other van and we piled in and drove to find coach. We wasted a good amount of time trying to find each other, but it was fun I guess :)
