Warm up, drills, strides.
Didn't think about the race very much during the week. I got to the race and didn't feel very pumped so I tried to hype myself up and get mentally read to grind. Got ready and I was good to go.
Went out quick to not get boxed in and then settled into rythmn. First couple miles just chilled. 1st mile 5:06 and 69th place, 2nd mile 5:17 and 61st place. Once we got to the top and headed downhill I started to pick it up a lil there. Coming back up the second time I was cautious to not go too hard and not have a kick at the end but looking back it is downhill to the finish and I saved a little too much. 3rd mile 5:26 58th place. Pushed it til the finish, had a good kick. Last 1.3 at 5:17 pace and finished in 47th. Overall I'm happy with it. It was another solid performance. I moved well throughout the race. Now we are gonna get a few solid weeks of training under our belts and then at the USU invite I want to go and really push myself to see what I can do.
30ish minute cooldown with the boiiis. It was a lot of fun having a meet in Utah which meant seeing so many running homies. Shout out to fellow bloggers and childhood friends Nick "Hell Raiser" Hill and Preston "Warbeast" Warby for coming to the meet and cheering me on.
