Ran the 800 w/ 18 NCS girls and Laura. Going into the race, my goal was to go out relaxed but with the front pack, beat Harper (my NCS rival), and win the race. I accomplished 2 of these goals!

I was really boxed in at the start and was almost pushed off the track, so I couldn't hit a good stride until about 200 in , where I tried to maintain contact with the leader. I was a good bit behind 3 NCS girls coming into the second lap (first lap was 86), and I passed one of them on the back straight and then Harper on the turn (which was really hard because I had to go around her). I kept trying to get to the girl in front of me on the final straight, and I think I closed the distance some, but when she crossed the line, I let up a little bit and this girl almost passed me.

This is the most evenly split race I think I've ever raced and I'm excited to try going out a little faster because I had good energy when starting my kick earlier!
