AM: I ran 10 minutes to my house to grab a coat and some warmer clothes before the race. Then to warm up we went on a 15 minute loop. It was crazy. Traffic was terrible. Next I had my race. I got up to the starting line. I was nervous but felt confident. We took off fast. My first thought was that our whole heat was going to burn out. We kept pushing and made it to the 400 mark. Our first lap was a minute 3 seconds. It was insane. Our second lap was much slower and the race really started to hurt around the 200 mark, but I kept pushing. I kicked way too late, somewhere around the 100 mark. I need to get used to picking up the speed even more at the end. I came in towards the back of my heat and still PRd with a time of 2:12. It was a good race. Next time I would like to push my kick a little harder and earlier.
