Morning- Morning run was alright... Nice and easy 5 miles with striders, and 0.5 mile warm up. Felt good. Focused on form.
Race (afternoon)- 3 miles warm up. And 3 mile race, with 1 mile cool. The race was good. I was super nervous. But after they fired the gun. I was like I can do this. I really didn't know what to expect. So I was running what my legs told me.... So really I didn't really race. But just raced by my legs? And I wasn't really thinking mentally, because it was really different racing with a different group. And the first mile went by super fast. And then the 2nd was alright. But the slowest I think. I was going soooo slow.... And then the last lap was alright. Felt goodish... I guess. Coach said, "Go Red! Make it RED LEADER TIME!" I was alright. So Wes and I picked up the pace. And by the time we got to the track. I started to kinda sprint, but last 100 Abel, and comes. And that was a really BIG SHOCK! I was like what?!?!? And then last 25 Nick Hill shows up! And I was like what the?!?! And then we finished within 2 seconds. So nice pack. (Abel,Wes,Nick, and I). So nice pack. We did good as a team. A lot of P.Rs. And then I just didn't really race. I didn't know what to expect. I was feeling sickish the last part, and really sluggish. And I remembered like coach say something like this,"Red you slow down, and jog!!!" And I was thinking that finishing the 2nd lap.... I honestly do not know what I was thinking. But I just need to step it up! Oh well that's all I have to say. And I guess overall I did alright. Life moves on. Whatever.... My legs are NEW to this much mileage... But I know I need more brain power...
Total mileage- 13.5 miles!
