Pm - Today was the day of the great Pine View Dream Mile. I've been pretty excited for this. But it didn't turned out as beast as I had imagined.
The weather today was cold and insanely windy. Warmed up in a hoodie and beanie and gloves. My legs felt great, I was ready to break the race record and possibly PR. Coach had us run backwards starting at the 100m start line, then the wind wouldn't hit us as bad. I got out good, through 200 in 32, but then the first lap was 1:08. The wind was just too powerful to run good times, but I kept pushing. I led the whole time, had a solid 3rd lap, and started kicking at 300m to go. I was getting into my all out sprint at 200m left when a profound wind just stopped me and wow I was probly going 7:00 pace. Battled in for I think 4:42. It was actually a pretty beast effort, unfortunately the time didn't reflect that.
Nice cool down, saw the SUU guys. Shout out to them for making nationals. 5.4 total today.
