Notes
My goal going into this was to be competitive and get myself under 2. I had the arcadia time in the back of my mind but I didn’t want to be too time oriented and since there wasnt a clock that wasn’t much of an issue. Got put in the outside alley with the 1:57 seed so I figured I’d try to stick with him as long as possible. We got out in 1-2 after the first 150 and I was feeling really relaxed. I stuck with him through 600 and at that point my legs were shot. I could feel myself slowing down but I knew the pack was coming so I put the rest of my energy into making sure I didn’t get caught. I held on to the leader longer than I thought, and when I heard 1:56 as I finished I went crazy. I got my arcadia time, hit my first state qualifying mark and I did it indoors!! As I thought about my race after I was a little disappointed that I couldn’t get the speed to try and win. As we keep up the speed training and get outdoors I’m confident I’ll be able to run my last 200-300 faster and drop this time down even more.
