Notes
day 2: 3k - 6th place in 8:41. Sooo happy with today. I ice bathed after the 5k yesterday in the hotel. def felt sore from that today but not too bad. got a good 20 min warm up in and i was feeling good. the 3k was WAY more crowded than the 5k - 17 people in the fast heat. I got out well and then relaxed back a bit - spent most of the race back in like 15th but i was always watching the front. stayed inside and relaxed waiting for gaps to form later in the race. I started hurting but seeing all my teammates right in front of me kept me motivated. with maybe 7 to go i surged hard around the crowd of dickison and swat kids to get right behind stefen- probs went from 13th place to 8th or so. I settled to regain my breath and then moved up again in a lap or two and all of sudden I was right in position to score with schaffer and austin and i realized i had something left. with 2 laps left I went by them and started sprinting and found myself in 5th place and just went all out from there. unfortunately got passed by greg clark in the final straight but I was right in the mix with max and roza just in front of me.
Even more important than all of that- we won confrences today by a shit ton of points. So proud of what this team has become and so proud of all my teammates. truly an awesome day.
