I had plenty of time before the mile so I got 4 miles warm up and a lot of drills and strides. I made it my goal to be under 5, and that's what I was working for. I got out first and could hear one girl right on my shoulder. My first 400 was 72. My 800 was 2:26 and I knew I had to push the third lap to be under 5. The girl stuck with me and that helped me so much to push harder. I focused on separating from her at the 300 and with 200 to go I kept sprinting harder to finish. I finished first and was under 5!! I was so happy-I wasn't sure I could do it because of high mileage and how tired I was. It did help to have someone chasing me so close behind. I ran a couple miles then ran the 800 in the medley. And it was basically in a workout, by the time I started our team was in last by almost 100 m... But I out kicked a girl down the stretch so we weren't last. I needed 7 more miles and I was so tired and dead but finished the mileage. |
