Notes
I have been doing some training, but I can say that the support from the team during the race is what made it seem 'easy.' It was so so nice to be cheered on by so many people and I actually had to hold back my excitement so I wouldn't take off too soon.
Extra special shoutout to @karina for advice each lap, giving me splits and reminding me of the race strategy and mindset.
PS The meet had been running 30 minutes behind yet somehow on the 200s they caught up so we were kinda just thrown on the track and there was no time for CV or strides. That was a bit jarring, but you just gotta roll with whatever is thrown at you. I also didn't have time to tie my spikes properly and my left shoe came untied on the second lap.
