Easy Run race 5:05 [5] 1.0 mi (5:05 / mi)
We had a meet today, and it was super windy and a little cold. Whatever my normal time would have been in a 800, I was definitely quite a bit slower. I say 5:05 and one mile, but I actually just raced the 4x800 relay and the open 800. The 4x800 open went pretty well, and according to my coach my personal split was 2:28. I'm actually really happy with that because I expected to get much worse because of the intense wind, but I must have pushed through it pretty hard, because 2:28 is quite good. The second race was terrible for me. I had pretty good start, but near the end of the first lap I got stuck behind my teammate, no room to pass him because there was someone next to him, and someone next to me. I was boxed in. The other thing was there were tired, while I was not. I couldn't get around them without wresting my way through a few people, so I lost five to eight seconds stuck behind slow runners who went too hard at the beginning.....it's quite a shame. I ended up getting sixth place or so and my coach's math doesn't add up, because according to my laps I should be 2:37 and for my full time he wrote 2:31 or something like that. I don't know what to trust. I also managed to leave my bag with my spikes at the meet, I'm a little stressed because of some wacky business I have to deal with in school (PE teachers want me to do make-up assignments for doing three times more work outside of class than they do in class, what's up with that? There's also a reaaaallly badly taught online course I'm taking that is making less and less sense as the semester goes on), so I really hope I can get it back......
