Notes
Mile race @ Ithaca, in the fastest section w/ Cish, Brian, Steve, and Colin. Time was nothing stellar, but I was pretty happy with this race. Really poor start to the season and today I felt was proof that I was back on track. While I wanted to run fast today, my number one goal was to stay focused and run competitively which I felt I did. Pretty fast start I believe, came through 409 in 66.x. Had some doubts at that point but put them aside and kept it together, pretty much shadowed Cish the whole way. My last quarter must have been abysmally slow, really need to work on closing out races. Still, it may not seem like much but for me this race was a good confidence booster, a stepping stone to better races. I know based on workouts that I am in as good shape as ever, now I feel more prepared to race and put myself out there. Still have plenty of lbs to drop, I'd say I ate pretty healthy today though. Very excited to get in my first 3k of the year.
Also, took caffeine before the warmup.
