Notes

Possibly the most painful race of my life. Went through 1600 and 3200 in about 4:31/9:20. Pretty crazy. 9:20 is technically a 3200pr, but what was probably an 8:45 3k is my second fastest ever, only by 4 or 5 seconds. Before the race I focused mostly on calming myself down and relaxing, while still maintaining my drive. I was fairly happy on the starting line, happy to finally run with some good B1G competition (even if it was the slow heat) and finally have a solid chance to break 15. I still havent had a good 5k to run for time, but at least this time I hit my goal of sub 15, and I dont have to worry about that barrier anymore. I started to hurt at about 2k, and started to really hurt at 3k, but I endured pretty well. Im not normally the type to be able to hold on that well after burning my energy too early.
