Potomac Invitational 4x8, open 8

April 11, 2015 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Comments:
Good meet today. Was excited to run in a varsity meet but also nervous. The first 800 was pretty tough with a strong headwind on the back straightaway but more because I started the third leg nowhere near anyone else. Still would have liked to run below a 2:28 but I didn't feel any pain and Silas, Frankie and Josh all ran great so we were able to finish in 3rd. Felt pretty strong in the open 8 and I was able to tuck behind people to avoid the wind on both laps. I made my kick a little early to pass the guy in 3rd with about 200 left, thinking I could catch the guy in 2nd but I just didn't have a strong enough kick to pass him and ended up in fourth with a 2:23.4 when I feel like I could have run around 2:21. Still very happy to set a PR and race much better than I have so far this season, especially off of two straight days of light training. Confident that I can build on this and get into the high teens by the end of the season.
