Notes
I felt strong and fit in this race. Never really pushed or pressed. It was up and down in lines the hole way. I started in about 10th place and then was in 8th until the turn around. I could’ve tried really hard to catch the next guy but there is no point to do that in July. Very pleased. Afterwords the local news channel interviewed me! First time I’ll be on tv for a race! I probably sounded like an idiot but oh well 🤷🏼♀️ Met Eli there and did the warmup and cool down with him. We talked about why he didn’t have the race he wanted to. He said that he is doing the same stuff as me. I told him that he is also using way more mental energy because he is training solo. I get to wake up every single morning and run with a bunch of cool dudes. Plus you can’t run stellar every time you set out for a race.
Good conversations with Chapman and Spitz. Chapman said I need to quit with the fake confidence and just have some genuine confidence. I told Spitz that I am just going to expect to run that fast from now on.
