Notes
They turned the track around since the wind was coming out of the south. For whatever reason, the race didn't start on a curve. I was #2, so it was good for me. I felt like I was running hard off the line, but when it was all sorted out I was in last. At least I was on the rail! I passed a couple of people on the backstretch but I was still off the main pack. I think I went through the quarter in 79 or 80. I'm a little fuzzy on what happened after that. With a lap to go I thought I'd be able to catch Ashlyn. I tried, but it didn't happened and I think I got passed by two people in the last 100m. Hannah ran 4:47, Elly was 4:57. Most everyone else was between 4:03 and 4:07. I would have felt a lot better about my race if I were with that group. But I wasn't. So it goes. I'm not very happy about this race, but it was a lot better than my last two indoor races. So I'm getting there.
If anything, it was a good, hard workout. When I got home I really had to talk myself into showering before I went to bed and then I ended up sleeping for 12 hours straight. So I guess I was kind of tired.
The day after, my vastis medialis feels awful. Hopefully it loosens up enough throughout the day enough that I can run later. The big things for the next week will be working on that and getting rid of all of the lingering stiffness/swelling in my ankle. Seriously, I sprained it like two months ago.
