I'm really disappointed with the outcome of the progression run. I don't know what place I was, but I made it to camp so I was in the top 15. I don't think I made the traveling team, which I'm really upset about. But maybe if I work really hard I can make it later in the season. I'm frustrated because the progression shouldn't have been that hard. I'm uncertain on what the pace was exactly, but we first did 3 laps at 2:15/per lap then went out and did a loop that I believe was a mile at about 8:15 pace, then the progression started I think? No maybe we did 3 more laps at 7:30 pace? Idk. The progression then began, 6:30 for 4 laps, 6:20 for 4 laps, 6:10 for 4 laps? Then 3 laps at 93, 92, 91 I think? I'm not sure. I didn't make it that far. Then it was supposed to be a mile all out. I think I made it the 6:30 and 2 laps of the 6:20 which is shameful. I'm so discouraged because that shouldn't be that hard! I fell off the pack, then got all motivated again and was gaining ground on the pack but coach still took me off the track. There were a lot of girls that got pulled that lap. I think my plan for right now will be to build up mileage for reals this time and hope that I can gain enough confidence for the road race, which could potentially land me a spot on the traveling squad.
