St George and back in a day drive- oh party. I ran a 2 mile shake out before we drove down. I got 1.5 warm up and plenty of time for drills and strides. It was really hot and I am so glad I was the first race. This race was pretty similar to my Davis race. I got out first and kept the lead the whole time. There was some wind and I didn't have anyone close to push with. My first 800 was the same split as my first 800 at Davis (2:31). I kicked harder the last 300 at this race though. I ran the same time and at first I was mad. But I guess it is better I didn't slow down. I ran a mile and cheered the rest of the team. A few of us ran an 8 mile cool down which was probably the longest cool down ever! This race was fun, even if I didn't run as fast as I hoped. |
