Notes
3k time trial on the indoor track today because we didn't travel to Olivet Nazarene. Was put in the slower heat with Jacob, Nate, and Auckerman. It was Jacob, Nate, Dave, and I for most of it. Dave was only doing a workout, so he stopped after 1.5 mile. We came through the first mile in 4:53, which was exactly where I wanted to be. Nate made a move with 400 to go and I was a little late to it and he made a gap that stayed the same the rest of the race. That was the only regret I had about this race because I definitely could have gone with Nate and run under 9:10 today (Nate ran 9:08). Overall though I very solid time trial. I felt solid the whole way through. Just need to work on my kick, but that will come with more strides and workouts. Still had something left though. Diemer said I'll be running the 3k in 2 weeks at Hillsdale, so will look towards 9:05 there as it will be with competition. This is my first true legit PR of college (my old 3200 PR converted to a 9:15 3k) and the first college race I feel good about. I feel like I'm beginning to improve now and look to keep this confidence and momentum going. It was an awesome day in general too. Nicole went 10:01, and in the faster heat of the 3k, all 5 guys were under 8:50 and 4 of them are returners+Schaap running 4:23 for the full mile!!
