Notes
This race was shit. i squandered the best weather we have had in a while. I went out right at the pace i needed to running the first mile in 4:56. I felt a lot less strong then i did last week at the same pace. Perhaps my less than healthy sleeping habits over the weekend are the problem. From here until the IU race i am going to be on point. Only eating healthy food and getting plenty of sleep. This was a major wake-up call. I thought that the way i have been running i could at least bring myself around in a 9:59 or so even on a bad day. i botched that. Oh well i need to move on and get fired up for IU. I've got two hard efforts left for the year, one at IU and one for the time trial next tuesday. Hopefully a good game plan, an all out run till i drop attitude, and superior knowledge of the course can give me an opportunity to run a pr and hopefully 30 seconds or more faster than at inter-collegiates. I talked to Buck and i am probably going to go out right with him early and see if i can get through 3 or 4 miles with him and see what happens. That is where he has blown my doors off at earlier meets because i am not going out conservatively enough. Those 5 second in the first 800 or mile can cost me more than that later. i just need to have the guts to go out slow and pick people off.
