AF Grass relays was today, and tbh I kinda sucked. Just to put things into perspective, I ran a 10:46 two mile tempo workout on Tuesday, and held a 5:10 pace for 8 800's on Wednesday, then got an 11:05 today. My first mile was 5:14, then my second mile was 5:48. I didn't think I was going slower the second mile, but apparently I was. I'm definitely not happy with today, but everyone has off days and my legs were just roasted. The best thing I can do with this race is to learn from it and do better at BYU. I've noticed that my workouts have been going really well lately with regards to how I'm feeling and pacing and such, but it isn't translating to my races. I'll talk to Jamie about it on Monday to see what I can change, but until then I just need to not beat myself up over it. Shout out to Utah Run for hiring me and being the sickest place ever to work. Another shout out to Brady Taylor for coming and supporting the team today and to my boys who raced with me today! |
