Notes
Finally had a healthy race and got a good idea of where I’m at fitness wise. My overall goal was to just have fun and bust some rust. Haven’t touched the track for a real race in a year so felt a bit weird lining up next to everyone. Race went out and I was in 6th and then just gradually moved up throughout. Hung at the back of the DePaul pack and would pass any stragglers that were shot out the back. Honestly felt way too comfortable looking back but I just didn’t really trust my body to hold up considering it hasn’t for the past year lol still trying to shed some mental baggage about last 2017. Felt like a hard tempo more than anything and only started to hurt with 7 laps to go but it wasn’t even that bad. Had a good kick to get 3rd but waited way too late to use it; had I gone a lap earlier I could have definitely won the race and broken 15:20, but that’s all woulda-coulda-shoulda. Excited more than anything that I’m just healthy and finally back to a good starting point. Lots more work to do though!
