AM:
2 mile shakeout run with megan PM: Simplot! We drove up to Pocatello and after like 7 hours of sitting around we did a 1.25 loop and then started drills, then after a few we went inside, changed shoes, and went to the line. I got in a lot of good strides right before the race. Counting that as about 2 miles warmup. I wanted to get 5:20ish. I was on pace for it for about the first 6 laps, maybe like 1 or 2 seconds off. I just tried to hit the pace the best I could, and stick with the group. I almost fell off the track a couple of times and I think I accidentally pushed someone when I did... :0 I felt good at that pace, but then the last 2 or 3 laps were hard and I think I just lost focus and backed off. I feel like if I would've worked harder those last couple of laps I could've been at least close. But oh well, I still have saturday because I made finals!!! Now I know what it's like to race on that track. Saturday I'm hoping to have a good race, especially since we'll be able to wear spikes! :) No cool down because Bill said it depended on if I made finals, then when we found out everyone was leaving... so I'm assuming I wasn't supposed to cool down...
