Time: 15 warm and 15 cool
The Race:The race was ehh. I ran a 5:13, which is 5:30 pace. I definitely felt like I pushed it. I got hard lock jaw and was getting really dizzy by lap 2. I lasted, but stalled pretty hard after lap 2. I think I'm too used to those 800s. I dont know how to feel. 5:30 is very average for a start to the season for me. I definitely don't like average but I also feel accepting of how I pushed myself. I think I need to find a balance between tenacity and self acceptance.
I also did a 4x4 relay at the end. It was pain haha. We ran it about 6 minutes after the 1500. I felt like I was moving so fast and I only ran a 1:05 which made me laugh. It was a good time. Shoutout to the Christian Track Club at the U for putting it on haha.
One Good Thing: I didn't think or panic while running.
One Bad Thing: I stalled hard on lap 3, and when I did, there was no recovery. It felt like my legs were moving in slo-mo, and all that fight in me had died. It felt like I was moving through water.
A Way to Improve: My mental game felt strong, but physically I was not where I want to be. I think I need more track workouts, and I think I need some plyometrics added to my routine. Sometimes you forget how much the little things count in the grand scheme of things.
