First indoor meet of the season!! I only ran the 3k today. I actually really enjoyed it! I've never ran a 3000m before, but I guestimated what my time would be had that been a full 3200m, that probably would have been a PR! Plus since it was in Boone (elevation 3,333), we get an elevation conversion so my time will be like 5-10 seconds less or something.

We got out comfortably fast the first 400, I think like 80 flat or so. First mile was 6:01. So that is close to an even split for the mile pace of the last 1400m. I was in 6th for most of the first mile, and then Breck surged for a straightaway and passed me. That pushed me a little bit and I started steady gaining on her. While I was gaining on her, she was gaining on Katarina (WCU girl) in front of her. By the time I passed her back with 200m or so to go, they were both together, so I passed both of them and finished 5th. I was tired but I think I had a weeee wee bit more gas in the tank, like I could gave kicked 20 meters earlier and cut 2-3 seconds. But other than that I was pretty happy with my time honestly, but my coaches didn't seem too pleased. Not sure why. Essentially a PR didn't seem too bad to me for our first meet of the season.
