Notes

5k at Jamboree today. Mentally frustrated after this. I was out in 4:57 with Auckerman and Rylaarsdam which may have been a little quicker then we wanted. Rylaarsdam and I were 9:20-9:25 at 3k and low 10:00s at 3200. With a mile to go though I hit a wall and died pretty bad. I was able to finish out somewhat strong, but just frustrated after this. This is 2 races in a row now where I had a PR or a solid race through 2 miles and just lost it. Last week was due to a tactical error, but this week I really don't know what happened. After talking with Marly on the bus, I realized I may have over thought this race and put too much pressure on myself. I may have also gone out too hard, got over fixated on hard I was going out and mentally didn't believe I could hold it. Next weekend I think I will be running the 1500 on GVSU, which will be nice because I love the mile and I realized I need to go back to having fun with running. The last 2 weeks have been too much about time, I need to just relax beforehand and run because I love to do it. Not care about times and just enjoy running with my teammates.
