Race Day Reflections from yesterday: Areas for growth: Talking to myself more positively when a race isn't going exactly as I had hoped, not getting complacent even when I am tired and hurting, and not being as anxious leading up to the race. Things that went well: Working up to and with my teammates during the middle of the race, the first 1k I got out well and put myself in a good position, and I am proud of how I am trying to move forward mentally after having a tough race.

Well- 1) I finished the race when I really really wanted to drop out 2) I felt like I put up a fight in the final stretch This is long. I am sorry. No one rly needs to read this but it helps to type out. Improve- This race really affected me mentally, and I can feel myself slipping back into the insecure runner I was in the fall. I have always struggled with racing and when it goes badly, I become depressed and embarrassed and it takes a lot of emotional energy to pop out of it. I went into the first meet excited to race with teammates and show my fitness and I lost that this meet. I left the meet embarrassed and upset. I went into the race scared and accepted that I wouldn’t race well. But that is something I have to figure out for myself moving forward and it’s not something I can expect other people to do for me. I think I need to improve my mindset moving forward with the team and training. I think I’ve been going to practice everyday for the past month worried I would say something wrong that would merit a team meeting fiasco again and feeling like scared to run in certain groups and moving forward I want to work through that better.

15min wu, strides, race, 3mi cd Did well: -actually passed a couple people down the last stretch -found teammates during the race and tried to run with them Improve: -freaked out cause I felt pretty bad at 2.5k and then didn’t really try to push like I should have until 5k -was very negative with myself throughout the whole middle of the race instead of staying positive

Gans Creek- 21:40 something not quite sure Honestly was just a bad day for me but I think I was due for a bad race. I don’t think it was indicative of where I’m at and I’m already looking forward to proving that in 2 weeks Cool to have the team place second when mostly everyone would agree we weren’t at our best!! 2-5 split was awesome yesterday and I think we can replicate that but be a lot faster altogether so it’s exciting from a team standpoint!

gans creek classic positives- I feel like I did a good job preparing mentally & physically before the race (yoga, meditation, sleep, etc) I also feel like my last k wasn’t too bad & I kicked it in things to work on- I need to stay more mentally engaged and positive after 3k bc that’s where I struggle. I can push myself to go with teammates when they come by or I see them ahead of me.
