Notes
Bad bad race @ Springfield college. Thought I could break 4:30, definitely thought I could run faster than last week. But it did not happen. Thought I had an ok start as far as getting off the line, but I made my usual mistake of cutting right into the inside of lane 1 and putting myself in a terrible spot. After the first turn everyone but one guy slowed wayyy down, I knew it right away and got outside on the home straight and moved up. The first lap was ~37? Right away Faz and another 3 guys packed up in front of me and that was the group I needed to be in. But I was scared I guess? Because I thought I was running fast to compensate for the first lap and I guess I thought that catching them quickly would be too much. But I just screwed myself, the next few laps were o.k. I think but I was just in nowhere land, never got back into the race, started to fall apart after halfway probably, shitty last few laps.
Well, it was a bad race, things didn't go like I'd hoped and I didn't respond well at all. No reason that I couldn't have ran with Ben today to run ~4:32, I wanted to run aggressively and I didn't. Still in good shape, next weekend will be much better.
