Well it wasn't the best way to end the season but that's just how it went. I ran a 1.5 mile warm up and did usual pre race routine. There were 28 girls in the race and it was dang hot and humid when we ran. The first mile, I just told myself to be patient and run with the group. And it felt hard to hang with the group. There were some stupid rookie mistakes but I guess you race for experience. There was not a clock at the 200 (where the 5K started) so I couldn't follow my splits as well as Mt. Sac. Coach was right by the crowd and every other coach and I only heard him about 3 times the whole race. I was in the back of the main pack when the first group split and that was the group I should've been with. With 6 laps, I knew I was off pace and just quit looking at the clock and focused on racing. I caught and passed 3 girls and caught up to my teammate and another girl. I sat with them for 600 and when they didn't pick it up, I moved. I ran the last 1000 alone and the next girl 50 meters ahead. It sucked to be by myself but I managed to catch the girl right at the line. I was mad about this race but it was good experience. I had too much left the last laps to try and make up ground. I am always stronger than I think and I should've moved up further and group and stuck in the beginning of the race. It really sucks to end the season with a bad race but I am just hoping to do better next time around. |
