It was snowing and windy so it was long sleeve shirt, shorts, and gloves weather but I forgot my gloves so I brought a jacket so my hands would be ok. I had to take it off after a while cuz I was hot but everyone else thought it was freezing.
8x400. Coaches said I've finally started looking closer to what I used to be so that was nice. Still not feeling all the way there. hit 65 for numbers 1,3,4,5. hit 64 on 2 and then hit 66-67 on the rest.
Good 3.1 mile shakeout plus strides. Ran the course. Did it at around 6:40 pace cuz we felt good and needed to get our legs moving. Some team we passed muttered "haha we'll beat them in the race tomorrow cuz their run will kill them." It was funny. T-shirt exchange and pasta at olive Garden.

Good race. Wasn't feeling amazing but was prepared for the pain that was coming. Body wasn't where it could have been but mind couldn't have been more ready. got to starting line and after the gun went off I went out hard. First mile 4:48 right in the frontish of the pack next to camren todd. Got ready for the pain that always comes after the first mile and it was more intense than I was expecting. I slowed down and hit 10:00 for 2 mile. Then saw that we were in the race and could qualify for nationals and picked it up a little at a time and got up a little closer. Kicked hard but one guy passed me which could have lead us to the win but we got 3rd with 109. Good race overall. Feeling hopeful cuz of the tie with timpanogas. Exciting race though.
