Did a mile warmup plus some strides on the ramp before heading onto the track. Then did 2 more strides before we had to go to the line. I didn't get a great start and was in the back, made my way up to the front gradually. Came through the 400 at 79 and 800 around 2:40. Then I made a move in lap 5 and got to the front. I didn't want to kill it from 800 to 1200 and die so I tried to relax. Then with 400 left I was trying to kick, in the last 100 I got outkicked by two. Got to work on that. I thought it was kind of fun that I used two different strategies for simplot, instead of a 2:31 800 I relaxed and negative split. I will think it out more. Happy with it, PR'd by .22 of a second! Would have liked to be at least under 5:15 but I raced the race and that's what matters. Cooled down 2 miles and then 4.25 more later. Shout out to Bill who ran 5:03 in the coaches mile and showed me how to kick! Now he's gotta work hard to break 5, he was so close! :) Calculated wrong so right before we left I ran a half mile to get to 40 for this week. It's been forever since I've dropped this low.... Time to build back up again. |
