Notes
Race at Wesleyan Invite 3. Ran the second section of the 3k. Race was late in the day, so had to wait around all day for the race- kinda stunk. First 3k ever, and haven't even run the 2 mile seriously since sophomore year of high school. Hoping to run sub 9:30, go out conservatively over the first 1k in 3:10 and then start rolling.
Race went pretty well. I got out at a good pace, but then slowed down and settled into like 39-40 second laps (didn't realize). Running pretty much on my own for the second 2/3rd of the race, someone might have been sitting on me but I wasn't sure. Probably could have been more aggressive through most of the race- I felt pretty controlled the whole time, and knew that I would be able to finish at the pace I was running without blowing up. Closed the last lap in 34 seconds because some guy went by me and I tried to go with him (couldn't get him). In any case, that fast a finish definitely shows that I had more in the tank. Pretty confident in my ability to PR in the 3k the next time I run it, as well as the mile.
