It was a really good day. We made it to the oval right on time. I had plenty of time to relax. I began my warmup around 7:50ish because they were behind, and I wasn't sure exactly when they would start the 2 mile. I warmed up outside, and did 1.3 miles. I want to bring up my warmup miles during meets where I only do one event, but I don't want to over warmup, so this meet I decided to just bring it up a little. When I finished, I just relaxed. When they called I was feeling ready. They didn't give us lane assignments, so I was on the outide or the second row.
I got out nicely. I mostly wanted to stick with the lead pack. I did get passed by a few girls, but just stuck with them. I then got passed by two Davis girls. I thought they would have stuck with the lead pack, but on one of the curves we lost them. I then just decided to keep Aubrey (from Davis) in my line of sight. I was confused with the number or laps, because they had one too many. I was way confused! On the second to last lap, she pulled away. On the last lap, I quickly calculated the time and realized I had one left! I was a little mad, because I started my sprint a little too late. I felt really good sprinting, and I finished under 11:30! I was pretty happy, but my body was tired. I'm happy with the race, but I wish I had known the number of laps or kept track better, then I would have been able to pr (one second away!). I love that track and was glad to run on it atleast one this year.
After I watched the boys race, I ran .7 outside, then went inside hoping to run around the track another mile. I ran with a bunch of guys from the Hobby Jogger project which was way fun. I did 5 laps, so around 1.2 miles. It was a good day.
