3200m time trial. I’m really happy right now. Sub 11 honestly feels just about as good as sub 5 did for me. A little more than a week ago my pr was 11:46, so I really had no idea that I was capable of this. I remember this cross season I was really trying to break 12, and during the late night time trial to start the season I couldn’t even do that. I guess I always wrote myself off in the 3200, but tonight it’s evident that all the thresholds helped me majorly. From the start I felt good and bouncy, which is way different than how I felt at LT. After school I hydrated well and made sure I was moving a bit in between studying. Back to the race, it probably ended up feeling too easy for the first couple laps, because my first mile split was like 5:31. I was sort of just keeping pace until the final 800, where I realized I needed to pick it up. My last 400 felt fast, and ian was right there pushing me the whole time. Without Ian as competition and Elliot’s pacing, I wouldn’t have done nearly as well, so thanks to them. Now I’m not gonna lie, I’m feeling very happy about my season as I hit all of my major goals, but that doesn’t mean I’m not gonna get after it on Monday. I just have to survive AP exams, and I’ll be good.
