Hot day out, especially with the sun. Tried to stay hydrated, but even before the race I was having to drink a lot just to try to stay at a good level of hydration. Was hoping to be able to break 11 today for leagues, but I just couldn't get focused, the heat sucked, and I ended up having a bit of a stomach bug.
Started off the race pretty strong. Stayed right on Conor's shoulder (he took it out in the lead) for the first 375m, and then he started to pull ahead. I tried to stay with Chris a bit as well when he passed me, but I ended up letting him go by. Not much to comment on for most of the rest of the race. At that point I was in third, and stayed there until the last 200m of the race, at which point Joe passed me. I'm mad at myself about that because i believe that if I was more aggressive at the finish I could have scored, but instead I just let him pass without putting forth any extra effort. I may have felt tired, but the least I could have done was attacked the track.
Will be running the 2mi again next week. Originally planned to run the 1mi and 800m then, but that doesn't look like it'll be the case if I want to have a fair chance at getting into leagues in the 2mi. My best time so far is a 11:10, but it would sure help to be under 11 when I'm seeded.
