I ran 2 mile shake out in the morning before driving back to Pocatello. I ran 2 miles warm up and did drills and strides outside. Then I headed in to the bullpen. I was really nervous about racing but excited. I was seeded with the fastest time and started on the top of the banked track. By the end of the first lap I had the lead. My first mile was slower than what it should've been. I had no idea how far the pack was behind me but I just kept going. My mile time was 5:26. Then a girl came up and took the lead. My usual reaction is to let her go, but not this race. I immediately got right on her shoulder and pushed with her for the next few laps. As we started to pass girls, I got the energy to push past her and never have I run so scared in my life. I was kicking hard the last 400 and my last 200 I was so dead but I was so scared I would get passed. I kicked hard enough and finished first! I felt so relieved it was over but was thrilled that I won. I was happy with my time (10 second PR) and that my second mile was faster than my first. It only got better as Bill threw twinkies to me by the award stand :) I was really happy with my race and it was a 3-peat of 3200 champion at Simplot Sus! I ran a 3 mile cool down. |
