Notes
5k at GVSU. Went out too hard, plain and simple. Was 3:00 at the 1km and 4:50 at the mile (I was looking for 3:06-3:07 and 5:00-5:05), then really started fading around 3.5k. I had two goals. Run with the competition and not go out to hard. I ran with the competition, but just a little over my head. This seems to have been my downfall of indoor season so far. I am just going out to hard in a lot of races and I never raced like this in high school. I need to go back to my old motto of "pace then race". I know I am in shape to run the times I want, but just not using my head in a lot of races. On the bright side if this was a 3k, I felt like I could have run my 9:05 goal because coming through in 4:50 the way i did felt pretty smooth. I could have definitely could have held that pace for 3k. I want a redo on this so badly. I could have paced differently or I could have seeded myself a little lower and run in Grinch's heat (which he won in 15:54 after going out in 5:09 first mile). I know I would have easily run under 16:00 in that heat. I don't know what I'll do at my last indoor meet, but I want to give myself a boost for outdoor with a SMART race.
