Notes
Probably one of the worse races I have run in a while. The first few laps went well, but after that everything went downhill. I wanted to run well really badly and stay up with Katherine and Kelsey. I have to remember that Katherine and I do not have similar racing styles at all. It is difficult to run your own race while racing on a track because you can see everyone the whole race. I defiantly could have paced it better if I was not trying to stay up with everyone and instead did what felt best for me.
Racing at Dartmouth has always been mentally challenging for me and that did not help at all since it is one of the races my team in high school really stressed.
Before the race, during strides my legs felt pretty tired and had me doubting the race from the beginning. I know I can run better and today was just not my day.
In 2012 I ran 11:56 for the 2-mile at Dartmouth which is an 11:03 for a 3000m. This race is typically about 3 weeks before then when we raced this year. I really want to hit my 3000m PR of 10:43 from junior year of high school.
