Comments:
Ran at Oberlin. Super pumped to see the varsity squad run so well before our race.

Stuck to the plan, right at the start we let everyone go and just maintained a nice even pace. Started rolling people up by the bottom of the trees near the start and went through the first mile right at 5:40 which was what we'd been looking for. Good group of me, Mike, MJ, and Papa P. Kept the group together through 2 miles but Mike started pulling ahead. I should have gone with him, since the rest of my race wasn't very good. FUCK! I'm kinda pissed that I didn't run hard mentally. I got too complacent and didn't go when I needed too, overthought the remaining parts of the race when I needed to be focused on going. Missed my goal range and with the conversion from the short course may or may not have PR'ed on by far the best racing weather and fastest course of the year.

Dammitfuckshitballs I'm pissed. I'm not racing conference but I'm going to run a mile time trial sometime in the next few weeks and see what kind of speed I have to go along with aerobic increases I've gotten this season. Mileage is headed upward again, preliminary goal of 60 for next week and hopefully topping out around 75 or 80. I have a long time till track and there's not much I could do for myself right now that would be better than good, consistent training. Consistency has been a weak point for me in the past, but no more. I finally did a season's training right and I'm not stopping now. Congrats to just about everyone though, a lot of you had awesome races today, so pat yourself on the back.
