Notes
19:53 WU, 21:10 6k race, 16:17 CD
Lots of new PRs today! We ran great as a team, placing 5th in the A race and dominating the B race. Skroll, Sawin, and I went 1, 2, 3 in the B race, respectively. Skroll took the lead early on in the race and held it the entire way without being challenged. The rest of us worked on moving up in the field. I was 5:42 for the first mile, with teammates all around me (Nat, Alana, and Swain). Swain and I worked together up until after the 4k mark, when I fell off a few steps. I hit around 17:52 for my 5k split (my first time under 18:00), with Swain a second or two in front of me. There was one unattached girl in-between us, and I ended up catching her on the kick (!!!) with only 20 or so meters to the finish. Swain was 21:08 and I was 21:10. :) That's exactly 1:00 faster than I ran here last year. Just gotta keep focusing on process and progression.
Had to shorten CD because we were pressed for time (last race of the day, and Coach wanted us to reduce some post-race stuff so that we could hit the road). Did 4 strides in trainers + a GS set post-CD.
