Notes
I'm not entirely sure of splits but I know we got out fast. This was a tough race. My legs felt heavy and I let it go after 2 and a half miles. When we went out on the weird loop in the middle just after 2 miles I started to fall apart. In my mind I was only thinking about the pain and the fact that I was ever so slowly falling off of Chris and Quinton. We came around and some guy yelled "800 to go" and for a second I was fooled and I got some energy but I looked at my watch and we were around 11 ish. I just felt defeated because I was hurting bad at that point. As I turned onto the track I watched as a few more guys passed me. I wanted to stick with them but no matter what I told myself I was done racing. I had let it go. As I came around I tried to give it my all. I wanted to pass some people. I held one kid off in the last 100 and I really got my legs going. So that is one positive. I was able to get going a little more in the last 50-100 meters. That might mean I left too much out on the course, but there's no way to know for sure. All I know is that when I finished I felt awful. My stomach felt terrible the rest of the night and I puked a bit in my mouth. Not too happy with this race but I want to make it happen at conference. I don't want to put too much pressure on myself because whatever happens happens but I'm really excited for conference and all the time trials that we have coming up.
