Notes
Tri meet: Hatters vs. Tennet vs. Upper Moreland
1st mile - 5:49
2nd mile - 6:57 ----- Way too slow
3rd mile - 6:36
Originally we planned to use today as a chance to learn to pace for ourselves better for races. We planned to have varsity go out fairly slow (varsity in a pack around Tennet's 3rd guy) and then negative split the second and third miles, with the third mile being somewhere around 5:00. Unfortunately it didn't really work out well, everyone just ran slow for the entire race (top varsity finished only at 17:55). It taught us how we need to run though, so it was successful in a sense. Also even with running slow we still easily won the race.
Before the race I was still a little too focused on not running as well as I would have hoped for the Wood invitational. Somewhere a bit before the 2 mile I was ahead of Joe and closing in on Kevin, but I started to get a little tired and I think more or less gave up pushing the pace. Joe passed me and then I fell fairly far behind for the rest of the race. I need to stay strong later into the race even if it hurts.
